What's the Story?:
From Goodreads.com: "Becky’s father Graham
and her best friend’s husband, Tarquin, have disappeared from Los
Angeles saying simply they have “something to take care of.”
But
Tarquin’s wife Suze who is Becky’s best friend, and Becky’s mother Jane,
are convinced the two men are hiding something and are in danger—their
imaginations run wild. They must track them down!
Hijinks ensue
as husband Luke drives Becky, daughter Minnie, Jane, Suze and other
favorite Kinsella characters across country from LA to Las Vegas in
search of the missing men.
Becky feels deeply guilty about
ignoring her father while he was in LA, in addition Becky feels her
enemy Alicia is threatening her friendship with Suze."
My Two Cents:
"Shopaholic
to the Rescue" is book number eight in Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic
series. These books are so much fun. I've read every single one and they
are like candy for the brain. In this book, Becky is trying to find her
dad and her best friend's husband. Her best friend is mad at her and
Becky can't quite figure out what's going on with her husband.
The
book is fast paced and feels frazzled, which is extremely fitting for
the book. There's a road trip and a crazy chase from place to place in
the Western U.S. that holds down all of the things happening between the
various characters. And if you know Becky, by now you know that
frazzled is just a part of the territory. Which brings up a good point,
this book is best for those that have read all or at least most of the
prior Shopaholic books. If you haven't read them, you are going to be
confused about the characters and all of the various relationships
between all of the characters.
This is definitely a comfort
read. I love that the characters feel so familiar to me now! Overall,
this is a good pick for anyone looking for a funny book that has fallen
in love with Becky the Shopaholic before!
