Shopaholic Takes Manhattan

by Sophie Kinsella

Random House Publishing Group | March 2, 2004 | Mass Market Paperbound

The irresistible heroine of Confessions of a Shopaholic and Shopaholic Ties the Knot is back! And this time Becky Bloomwood and her credit cards are headed across the Atlantic.…

With her shopping excesses (somewhat) in check and her career as a TV financial guru thriving, Becky's biggest problem seems to be tearing her entrepreneur boyfriend, Luke, away from work for a romantic country weekend. And worse, figuring out how to pack light. But packing takes on a whole new meaning when Luke announces he's moving to New York for business-and he asks Becky to go with him! Before you can say "Prada sample sale," Becky has landed in the Big Apple, home of Park Avenue penthouses and luxury boutiques.

Surely it's only a matter of time until she becomes an American TV celebrity, and she and Luke are the toast of Gotham society. Nothing can stand in their way, especially with Becky's bills miles away in London. But then an unexpected disaster threatens her career prospects, her relationship with Luke, and her available credit line! Shopaholic Takes Manhattan-but will she have to return it?

    I love this series. But Becky's naive concepts about life and the real world always makes me laugh. I love that this book shows Becky standing up for herself and taking charge of her life. I would recommend this series to anyone who can laugh at the most outrageousness person

    Characters not-so-great

    Hiril Isilme

    It really wasn't a bad book. Definitely didn't end the way I expected it.

    The story was great and very well written. The problem I found was the characters. Becky just seemed really dense. The trait in the previous book made for the great story, but now that readers know that she has a degree in accounting and business the whole idea of her not knowing how to manage her money made me dislike the character a bit. I am very glad she found her true calling at the end though.

    Luke was either on one end or the other. I just really hate male characters that go all out for their relationship one chapter and then do nothing the next. But since that made for the storyline, I can forgive. It just made it harder to read.

    Other than that, good book. I just really really hope that Becky smartens up with the shopping next time.

    I'm not a fan of chick lit but this book, the sequel of Confession of a Shopaholic, is a must for every readerholic. I really enjoyed reading Becky many problem with her obsesion of shopping, it was funny, light and highly enjoyable.

    The [Shopaholic] story continues right where we left off; still getting herself further in debt, daydreaming, and now - NYC!

    Not as good as the first, but I still enjoyed reading further about this character and all her mishaps. Can't wait to read the next one!

    If you havent read any of the Shopaholic books - stop what you are doing and go get them! They are laugh out loud funny and so endearing. I find myself anxiously waiting for the next book in the series so I can find out what Becky is up to!

    I LOVED IT. There are not other word. This was the best book, so excited and very relatable. Everyone gets them selves into a little mix up but she takes the cake. Once you pick it up you won't put it down. Very funny book.

    I enjoyed this book even more than Confessions of a Shopaholic! Becky Bloomwood is so funny, and it's so easy to sympathize with her. It's very easy to read it over and over again.

    Shopaholic Takes Mahattan is laugh out loud funny. It is like taking the Bridget Jones' world and mixing it with the Carrie Bradshaw world (Sex in the City). Becky Bloomwood is a 26 year old shopping maniac. When she discovers New York there is no stopping her! From buying an office shredder to a cocktail dress worth thousands of dollars, she keeps you laughing. Great read from Sophie Kinsella, who showed me you haven't lived till you've shopped in Manhattan!

    True... Becky keeps shopping! But what is the point of a SHOPAHOLIC that doesn't shop? ... I mean it's totally in her character! ... Great Book... Ironically, it was my first in the series and I just loved it and had to make my mom get me all the rest! SO OBSESSED ... my fav is still the fourth one ~ so romantic at the end!
    I'll recommend this book to all of you out there that has a guilty pleasure of shopping ~ who doesn't ... except for JESS maybe LMAO ~ ... anywayz ... all of you shopaholics will love this book 4EVA!

    ARGH!!!!!!!!!

    At the beginning this book was interesting, but it soon became nothing more than a long list of Becky's shopping trips and expenses, briefly interspersed with bits of plot. The way that the main character kept on shopping was annoying and made me want to yell at her. This book was, however easy to read and I got through it in 2 days. Take it out from the library instead of spending 20 bucks on it.

    As corny as a non-stop shopper running into a financial crisis seems, Sophie Kinsella does not EVER stop creating humor that is impossiblt to keep from bubbling out.
