Mini Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
The world's favourite economically challenged heroine is back... with a small friend in tow...
Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) thought motherhood would be a breeze and that having a daughter was a dream come true a shopping friend for life! But it's trickier than she thought as two-year-old Minnie has a quite different approach to shopping.
She can create havoc everywhere from Harrods to Harvey Nicks to her own christening. She hires taxis at random, her favourite word is Mine, and she's even started bidding for designer bags on eBay.
On top of everything else, there s a big financial crisis. People are having to Cut Back including all of Becky's personal shopping clients and she and Luke are still living with Becky's Mum and Dad. To cheer everyone up, Becky decides to throw a surprise birthday party on a budget but then things become really complicated.
Who will end up on the naughty step, who will get a gold star and will Becky's secret wishes come true?
It was no surprise to me that this book was just as hilarious and fabulous as all the other Sophie Kinsella books. I loved how she tried to keep Luke's birthday party a secret. Minnie's first words where not ''mama'' but 'Mine! Have!', brilliant! Ofcourse, everything Becky is trying to juggle, is in danger to hopelessly fail at the end, but Becky won't be our Becky Bloomwood with her iron will to get everything back into place just at the right time.Loved it!
