Shopaholic to the Stars by Sophie Kinsella

 Synopsis :

Sophie Kinsella returns to her beloved Shopaholic series with Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) newly arrived in Hollywood and starry-eyed. She and her two-year-old daughter, Minnie, have relocated to L.A. to join Becky’s husband, Luke, who is there to handle PR for famous actress Sage Seymour. 

Becky can’t wait to start living the A-list lifestyle, complete with celebrity sightings, yoga retreats, and shopping trips to Rodeo Drive. But she really hopes to become a personal stylist—Sage’s personal stylist—if only Luke would set up an introduction. Then, unexpectedly, Becky is offered the chance to dress Sage’s archrival, and though things become a bit more complicated, it’s a dream come true!

Red carpet premieres, velvet ropes, paparazzi clamoring for attention—suddenly Becky has everything she’s ever wanted

This is what I say :

Becky, Becky, Becky...I really quite dislike you in this title.  I think you are way over in your thinking and actions.  You are extremely self centered in this title and reading you trying to justify your action, it's just pathetic.

You can do so much better and I would have think that after 10 years and after 6 books, you might have grown up a bit but unfortunately it doesn't seems to be the case.  If it's anything you seems to be at at your worst in this title.

Shopaholic to the Stars is book number 7 in the Shopaholic series.  The story did not end here but spill over to book number 8 which is Shopaholic to the Rescue which I have already read.  Yes, my sequence of reading is all wrong but it doesn't really matter in the end.

Anyway, it's a good thing that I did not read this title first. If I did, I might just stop right at this book cos this book really doesn't show Becky in a good light. Instead, I find her downright horrible and extremely immature.  But because I have read to the Rescue, somehow I can be more forgiving.  Perhaps America doesn't fit her well as she turns out to be better when she went back to UK for Christmas Shopaholic.

I must say among these 3 recent titles Christmas Shopaholic is my favourite title.
