Summary: hilarious
Review: I've had a lot of fun reading the Shopaholic series. I, normally can't get into these wacky character chick books, but Sophie Kinsella, has done a great job with the character of Rebecca Bloomwood. I've read the first two books in the series, liked them and just got finished reading this new book. If Sophie Kinsella, has another Shopaholic book in the works, then that'd be so cool. I can't wait.

Rebecca Bloomwood has finally settled in NYC. She's one of the best personal shoppers at Barneys, she's got great friends, and things are going well with her live-in boyfriend Luke. Her best friend from England, Suze is getting married and Rebecca is invited to the wedding. Which has got Becky thinking of wedding rings and such things. Becky tries to play it cool but she's ecstatic when Luke finally proposes.

Her mom soon dives deep in wedding plans in England, and her cold mother-in-law Elinor is planning a huge wedding at the Plaza Hotel. Rebecca can't say no to either wedding! So the wedding plans go on for both weddings on two different countries, the good ol' U.S.A. and England! Time is ticking fast and its time for Becky to decided which wedding she wants.

Will our favorite Shopaholic be able to tie the knot? How will she pull it off? You're going to have to read the book to find out, 'cause its so hilarious. This book is indeed the best of the series, it was so funny. The novel plays out like a wacky Hollywood comedy.

The only thing that I didn't like was that Suze was marrying her cousin Tarquin! I mean think of the kids! That's just really weird.

She's also got the funniest shopping habits! Its a must read for anyone that's a fan of the series, I hope that Sophie Kinsella writes a fourth Shopaholic book. It was also cool seeing Luke solve his mother issues, and the characters do grow in this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Becky Bloomwood Fan
Review: You must start with Confessions of a Shopaholic and read the entire trilogy. I love the way Kinsella writes. I totally relate to the credit card issues. I cannot say enough about how fun these books were to read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: As fantastic as "Otherwise Engaged" and "Le Marriage"...
Review: Two of my favorite authors, Suzanne Finnamore (Otherwise Engaged) and Diane Johnson (Le Marriage) have now a third contender in the Best Girlfriend Book category. In comparison to Shopaholic Ties The Knot, Finnamore is more edgy and sophisticated, and Johnson is more literary than this entry to the Shopaloic series -- and yet Becky's trials are very funny, charming, and always end in the precisely right way. I've often given the other two novels as wedding shower gifts -- with rave reviews. Now I have another to add to this fine collection of everywoman experiences pressed gracefully into the pages of a book...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shopaholic must tie loose ends!
Review: Becky Bloomwood is going to marry Luke Brandon....in New York or in England? Which mother should prepare the wedding? Where should Becky have the wedding, what dress should she wear, and at how many places can (should) she register? All of these questions have at least two answers, but there can only be ONE wedding. In her final debut, Becky Bloomwood must make her decision between weddings, families, friends, and she must choose carefully. The reader will be impressed at Becky's inner growth. What she gains from her experiences are invaluable and cannot be paid off by using a credit card or a check from her joint account with Luke. We finally get to see Becky take responsibility for untangling the mess she is in....so she can tie the knot with no loose ends!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Romantic and sweet.
Review: So much is happening in the world of Becky Bloomwood. Weddings surround Becky, as Luke ponders asking the big question. Before you know it, Becky is planning her own wedding. This book is hilarious, and I couldn't put it down. I'm hoping that Kinsella will write another book in this series. All in all, it's a must read for every "Shopaholic" fanatic!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lighthearted & Captivating
Review: This was an excellent read! I read the entire trilogy in a week and a half! Kinsella has a very captivating writing style. ANYONE who shops can truly relate to this series! I wish there would be a "Shopaholic has a baby" but it looks this book is the end of the series. I can't wait until Kinsella's next release. 2004 seems too far away.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great!! and FUN!!
Review: i just finished "Shopaholic ties the knot" and really did not want the book to end, it was soooooooooo good. i found it hard to put it down, and to be honest, i'm not much of a reader.
the book is only better enjoyed when you have read the first 2. i've been wanting to read more of Sophie Kinsella's books, but could not find anymore. i deffinatly recomend this book to every female out there! it is tons of fun. i want to read all 3 all over again!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best of the Series!
Review: The whole shopaholic trilogy is absolutely hilarious, but this one, really, I was laughing so loud that I felt stupid, but then it's good to unwind and have fun a little and give a little break to more deeply novels.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: ...And the Knot in my stomach...
Review: While enjoy Becky's adventure and find the book a great read. I was still a little disappointed. For someone who took a bold step in the last book and someone who is willing to spend ALL her money on clothes, she couldn't stand up to Luke's mother. Other than that minor, but yet major annoyance, the book was fantastic and I hope that just because Becky is marrried now that her adventures and trials of shopping don't end!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Who says books can't be mindless and fun
Review: If you're looking for a life-changing work of literature, Sophie Kinsella may not be the author of choice. However, if you're seeking a well written read with hints of British flare, this book will definately fulfill your cravings. If you fell in love with Becky in the first two I doubt you will need me to urge you to buy this one as well. (In fact if this describes you you're probably reading my review to find the satisfaction of reading other reviews from people who are as addicted to Sophie Kinsella's books as you are.) However if you haven't read any, I suggest starting from the beginning. The first book is the funniest in the series in my opinon and makes it difficult to resist keeping up with Becky's misadventures. The books are fantastic because Kinsella is able to latch on to many common female characteristics and integrate them into a seamless tale that's both humorous and easy to relate to. It's a fabulous book for any woman that reads Vogue religiously, lusting after the newest Prada handback or the latest Vera Wang. That doesn't mean, however, you have to be a obsessed with haute couture or shopping sprees in order to delight in a mindless afternoon with Becky. Even my college roommate, who often criticizes my spending habits and doesn't obsess about fashion or shopping, refused to be interrupted while reading about Becky. The bottom line: Kinsella's latest book is so much fun you'll eagerly pass it off to friends when you're done so you can all laugh about how much you saw yourself in Becky.
