From Goodreads.com: "Life has been good for Becky Bloomwood: She’s become the best personal shopper at Barneys, she and her successful entrepreneurial boyfriend, Luke, are living happily in Manhattan’s West Village, and her new next door neighbor is a fashion designer! But with her best friend, Suze, engaged, how can Becky fail to notice that her own ring finger is bare? Not that she’s been thinking of marriage (or diamonds) or anything...
Then Luke proposes! Bridal registries dance in Becky’s head. Problem is, two other people are planning her wedding: Becky’s overjoyed mother has been waiting forever to host a backyard wedding, with the bride resplendent in Mum’s frilly old gown. While Luke’s high-society mother is insisting on a glamorous, all-expenses-paid affair at the Plaza. Both weddings for the same day. And Becky can’t seem to turn down either one. Can everyone’s favorite shopaholic tie the knot before everything unravels?"
My Two Cents:
I got married just about a year ago so the memory of how stressful wedding planning can be is still relatively fresh in my memory. In this book, Becky is torn between the wedding that her parents want to plan in her hometown in England and a all expenses paid wedding at the Plaza Hotel by her beau's mother, a woman who makes Cruella D'Vil look like a total sweetheart. Becky wants to make everyone happy but will she speak up before it's too late?
Becky Bloomwood is an incredibly lovable character. I love the Shopaholic books so much. They're light and fun and perfect mind candy type of books. This installation is another good one. This book continues the fun and I'm definitely looking forward to reading the next installation in this series.
My Review:
4 out of 5 stars
I read Shopaholic Ties The Knot this week too. I really, really enjoyed it and it even gave me the Happy Book Fuzz at the end!
ReplyDeleteI have the next one (Shopaholic and Sister?) on my TBR but I'm trying not to read it too soon!
I still haven't read any Kinsella yet although I have one. They sound like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this series yet. But, have heard so many great things about it.

Eeep! Haven't read a shopaholic book in so long but I lurves them so much. This sounds like it's super interesting, and full of plenty of laughs. It just screams Sophie Kinsella. I also like the way you structure your reviews. Very nice. :)
