Summary: Not a typo!
Review: In response to some reviewers who have suggested that the wedding dates were a typographical error: this is not the case. If you do the time conversion, Kinsella chose the dates and times that she did in order to make Becky's eventual solution possible. If Kinsella had indeed made the dates exactly the same, e.g. June 21, Becky would have had to choose the opposite solution, which would have been possible too, but less plausible and less emotionally satisfying. Of course, it is also slightly implausible that Becky was freaking out even when the dates were the 21st and the 22nd...but chalk it up to her being accustomed to travelling back and forth between continents, and "losing" or "gaining" a day. Clearly I love Becky's character, and all of her dearly beloveds, else I wouldn't be up at 4:17am defending her and her story! :) Sophie, thank you ever so much for this series.

Summary: BECKY GETS MARRIED!
Review: As soon as I finished Shopaholic Takes Manhattan, if left me with a HUGE question so I had to start reading this right away! Suze gets married first and Becky is to proposed to in the most adorable way ever! I loved it! Becky get's a little better with her shopping problems... BUT! She can't decide which country to have her wedding, so two are being planned. And you can only expect Becky to want more than one wedding dress! I've absolutely loved all three of Kinsella's books... I'm disappointed to discover this is the last about Becky (at least for now I HOPE). This book was the easiest read of the three, I couldn't put it down- finished it in 2 days.

Summary: The saga continues
Review: I wonder if I enjoy the Shopaholic series so much because I see myself in every page? Yes, I too hide bank statements, hide bills, just hoping that they will go away! This book lives up to the standards set by the previous two. If you liked those, this one won't disappoint.

Summary: A good effort but not particularly memorable...
Review: ....I breezed through Becky's ups and down and shopping escapades, although as someone who spent little on her (vintage) wedding dress, i couldnt always relate. Kinsella has found a groove and is milking it nicely -- but there are so many better reads out there. I loved The Girls Guide To Hunting and Fishing (Bank), Bridget Jones Diary (Fielding) , and Otherwise Engaged (Finnamore). they stayed with me much longer, and are better written, as well as uproariously funny and wicked.

Summary: Stale idea
Review: The first book Confessions of a Shopaholic was amusing and fun and creative. But it's the third strike and she's out on this one...I thought the book was silly and boring. If you liked the first two books you would like this one simply because you want to know how everything turns out and because Becky Bloomwood is such a likeable character. But if you're picking this book up without having read the first two, don't bother. It will come across as mindless dribble.

Summary: Becky's Back and this time she is getting hitched.
Review: Becky Bloomwood is back again, and this time she is in debt and swimming in hiding her shopping from anyone. This time she is finally getting married. But for Becky there is nothing simple in her life. When Luke asks Becky to marry her she thinks that she will get married back in London and have a grand affair. Well as she starts to plan that out she finds out that Luke's mother wants her to have her grand affair in the States. With all this planning going Becky feels like she is in way over her head. She is set to have two weddings on the same day and in two different continents. She feels like she can't disapoint anyone with this wedding. But as time goes on and Becky hasn't made her full decision on where she is going to have the wedding and she starts to worry what will happen. The friends of her were a good laugh, from Danny, Suze, Luke, Michael and all the rest of her friends. They helped Becky figure things out in her life and make her realize she had to make a desicsion and that she had to do it soon. This book wasn't as predictiable as her other ones but it still left you wondering what would happen. This didn't focus on her shopping but more on the wedding and Luke. Overall this was a great book

Summary: Lots of fun, warmth, and general hysteria
Review: I couldn't put this book down. What alot of fun. The conclusion is ingenious. Beneath it all is a sensitivity and honesty about women, men, and what's important. More, Sophie, more!

Summary: Our favorite shopaholic gets hitched!
Review: The Shopaholic series is one of my favorites. Sophie Kinsella has created a hilarious and neurotic character in Rebecca Bloomwood. I couldn't wait to read Shopaholic Ties the Knot, hoping to read more shopping misadventures from Ms. Bloomwood. When Luke proposes, Becky couldn't believe her luck. After all, getting married is the perfect opportunity to go shopping and, more to the point, sign up for various wedding registries. However, things take a rapid spin toward potential disaster. Becky's mother wants the wedding to take place in England, whereas Luke's mother wants the wedding to be held in New York. Should Becky have a traditional English wedding or an upscale extravaganza in New York City's Plaza Hotel? With Becky's signature self-deprecating humor, she tries to disentangle herself from quite a dilemma. There are some fun twists in the novel. As previously mentioned, the Shopaholic books are all memorable. Even though the third installment is more focused on the wedding dilemma than on Becky's uncontrollable shopping addiction, the novel is hilarious nevertheless. I hope Ms. Kinsella writes another one. I'll read each and every Bloomwood adventure that's published!

Summary: Eve has Becky beat by a country mile...
Review: I've read the shopaholic series -- they are fun, light reads - and it's a good plane read with plenty of spaces for short naps. But I absolutely LOVED Otherwise Engaged by Suzanne Finnamore, and I think that Ms. Finnamore started this current trend of engaged woman confessionals back in 1999...and I believe she does it best! Get them both, but save the fluff for the beach. Otherwise Engaged is for the intelligent woman perhaps past the first bloom of extreme youth....? But Ms. Kinsella has a good take on the surface of things, and is one to pass around after you read it.

Summary: Ignore The Dates
Review: I enjoyed the latest installment of Shopaholic. Becky's trials & tribulations are just as funny & frustrating to experience as the other two. HOWEVER...previous reviewers are right. You have to ignore the dates that are given because it will ruin your expectations for the ending. The book clearly states that Elinor's ceremony is scheduled for the 21st, while Becky's parents' planned for the 22nd. This is obviously a typo, given the end result. If you want to enjoy this book beginning to end, you have to regard these dates as a typo.
