Shopaholic To The Rescue by Sophie Kinsella

 

Synopsis :

Becky Bloomwood and a hilarious cast of beloved family and friends (plus one enemy!) set off in a van to find her missing father, last heard from in Las Vegas.

Becky’s father Graham and her best friend’s husband, Tarquin, have disappeared from Los Angeles saying simply they have “something to take care of.”

But Tarquin’s wife Suze who is Becky’s best friend, and Becky’s mother Jane, are convinced the two men are hiding something and are in danger—their imaginations run wild. They must track them down!

Hijinks ensue as husband Luke drives Becky, daughter Minnie, Jane, Suze and other favorite Kinsella characters across country from LA to Las Vegas in search of the missing men.

Becky feels deeply guilty about ignoring her father while he was in LA, in addition Becky feels her enemy Alicia is threatening her friendship with Suze.


This is what I say :

Shopaholic To The Rescue is book number 8 in the Shopaholic Series and no, it's not the final book although a lot of readers seems to be tired of this series already but hey, not me!

I guess if anyone can lead me back to reading, it would be Becky and after a period of not reading for quite a while, I am glad it's Becky that I am spending my reading time with.  I am actually reading this title and Shopaholic To the Star at the same time but I seems to be reading Shopaholic To the Rescue faster than To the Star which in the sequence of story, I should be reading To the Star first as that's book number 7.  In fact, I got my reading sequence all wrong as I have already Christmas Shopaholic and that's book number 9.

So I am reading book number 9 first followed by 8 and then 7.  Ah well, as long as I am reading right?

Anyway, as expected from Becky's story, it's never borng, it will be pretty dramatic (sometimes for the wrong reason) but Becky always delivers at the end with much adoration from her family and close friends who are pretty short-sighted where Becky's concern. It's all feel at the end and that's whats important

After this title, it's time for Becky to be back to herself and celebrates Christmas in Christmas Shopaholic!

A battle lost and won I’ve loved and lost I’ve loved and won Such is the conclusion I came to in my battle in this simple but  complicated feelings called love.

He introduced me to stuff unknown to me and taught me golf and how to have confidence in myself The girl
