Book Review – Christmas Shopaholic by Sophia Kinsella
For the first 12 days of December, I will be hosting a 12 Days of Christmas Books! Each day I will review a different Christmas book that I think you might enjoy this holiday season. For this third day of Christmas Books here is my book review for Christmas Shopaholic by Sophia Kinsella.
The 3rd Day of Christmas Books
Title: Christmas Shopaholic
Author: Sophia Kinsella
Summary of Christmas Shopaholic
’Tis the season for change and Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) is embracing it. Recently returned from the States to live in the charming village of Letherby, she works with her best friend, Suze, in the gift shop of Suze’s stately home. Life is good, especially now that Becky takes time every day for mindfulness—even if that only means listening to a meditation tape while hunting down online bargains.
But Becky still adores the traditions of Christmas: Her parents hosting, carols playing on repeat, her mother pretending she made the Christmas pudding, and the neighbors coming ’round for sherry in their terrible holiday sweaters. Things are looking cheerier than ever until Becky’s parents announce they’re moving to ultra-trendy Shoreditch—unable to resist the draw of craft beer and smashed avocados—and ask Becky if she’ll host this year. What could possibly go wrong?
My Thoughts
In true Shopaholic fashion, pretty much everything that can go wrong, does go wrong! But, also as always, it makes for a very entertaining read! Chaos ensues and life gets very stressful in Becky’s world. You’ll enjoy the humor and fun that always comes with a Sophia Kinsella book.
