Christmas
Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
Becky Brandon
nee Bloomwood loves everything about Christmas, but mostly the challenge of
coming up with just the right Christmas gift for everyone. Her mother
always hosts the family Christmas dinner, but this year, Becky’s parents inform
her that they are temporarily moving to a trendy London neighborhood, so Becky
will be hosting Christmas in her new house. Oh, and her vegan sister Jess
and husband Tom will be visiting from South America, so Becky has to find a
vegan turkey. Then Becky’s college ex-boyfriend rock musician rents a
cottage in the neighborhood which makes Becky question whether she is still
cool and edgy. On the positive side, Becky has found the PERFECT present for
her husband Luke (even if he insists he wants after shave lotion for Christmas),
but to get it, she needs to find a way to join a billiards club that doesn’t
accept women members.
The latest
title in the Shopaholic series is just the thing for holiday reading and a wonderful antidote to holiday craziness.
Although Becky seems to complicate her life unnecessarily, she just wants to
have perfect presents, and for everyone to be happy and enjoy the holiday.
She is so good-hearted that it’s impossible to dislike her. Curl up with a plate of cookies and a cup or
glass of something, and have a good laugh about Becky’s latest plans and schemes.
