Mini Shopaholic

With her captivating Shopaholic books, which have become worldwide blockbusters and won millions of dedicated followers, Sophie Kinsella has enthralled readers and elevated herself to the top echelon of modern authors. Her best-loved lead character, Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood), is back with a funny story about marriage, raising a child, and the dangers of throwing a lavish surprise party on a tight budget!

For Becky Brandon, having a daughter was a dream come true—a lifelong friend who loved to shop—and she believed parenthood would be easy! It's more difficult than she anticipated. Little Minnie, who is two years old, approaches shopping quite differently.

Everywhere Minnie goes, from Harrods to her own baptism, she causes trouble. "Mine!" is her favorite word, and she's even considering joining eBay! A major financial crisis strikes out of nowhere, and Becky and Luke, on top of everything else, are still living with her parents since the transaction on home #4 has gone through.

In an effort to lift everyone's spirits in light of everyone having to "cut back," Becky plans a surprise party for Luke. But as expenses start to skyrocket, she has to choose whether to take an unexpected offer of assistance and risk hurting the one she loves in the process.

Can Becky pull off the year's biggest celebration? Will she ever possess a house of her own, together with Luke? Will Minnie ever become well-mannered? Most importantly, will Becky's deepest desires ever be fulfilled?
