Considering that I have over 2,000 hard copy books and little room, I’ve long since switched to the e-reader world to save space, but all Kinsella’s books decorate my shelves in brand new hardcover glory. When I saw Shopaholic to the Stars up for pre-order, I pounced and did the impossible: I bought the hardcover new version. I forgot about the series, only recently re-discovering Kinsella through her new novel, the inspired laugh-out-loud Wedding Night, and checking out her other stand-alone fiction novels (namely Twenties Girl and I’ve Got Your Number) from my library. Mini Shopaholic left me enervated and disappointed. Becky was transitioned from a life-like comically endearing figure to a scatter-brained, childish facsimile of her glory days. Our quirky, spend-aholic, good-as-gold, lovable character has been on the fritz in the last several books, especially Mini Shopaholic. Sophia, Kinsella, queen of chick-lit drama merged with sidesplitting comedy and author of the ever popular (and movie-ized Shopaholic series) hasn’t penned another adventure with Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) since late 2010.
