Christmas Shopaholic: A Novel

Becky Brandon née Bloomwood is back! As a lover of the Shopaholic series and Sophie Kinsella in general, I was so happy to receive a copy of Christmas Shopaholic. Becky is up to her ears in Christmas shopping when her parents decide to spring on her that they are moving to another town and letting her eco-friendly sister Jess and Jess’s husband Tom move into their place. This means that Becky has to host Christmas! The problem? Becky has never hosted Christmas before and now has a list a mile long to do. This includes getting a vegan turkey for her sister, a regular turkey, llama ornaments (yes, exactly…what???), and of course a present for her husband Luke. Becky has calmed down a bit from her former level of frantic, running around like a chicken with her head cut off, however, her wild antics in this book include becoming the first female member of a billiards club, and giving a speech to do so, all because she wants to win the top prize in their raffle because she thinks that it would be the perfect bespoke gift for Luke. Again, Becky and her big heart win me over in this wonderful Shopaholic story.
