Rebecca Bloomwood just hit rock bottom. But she’s never looked better….
Becky Bloomwood has a fabulous flat in London’s trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite friends, and a closet brimming with the season’s must-haves. The only trouble is that she can’t actually afford it — not any of it.
Her job writing at Successful Savings not only bores her to tears, it doesn’t pay much at all. And lately Becky’s been chased by dismal letters from Visa and the Endwich Bank — letters with large red sums she can’t bear to read — and they’re getting ever harder to ignore.
She tries cutting back; she even tries making more money. But none of her efforts succeeds. Becky’s only consolation is to buy herself something … just a little something….
Finally a story arises that Becky actually cares about, and her front-page article catalyzes a chain of events that will transform her life — and the lives of those around her — forever.
Sophie Kinsella has brilliantly tapped into our collective consumer conscience to deliver a novel of our times — and a heroine who grows stronger every time she weakens. Becky Bloomwood’s hilarious schemes to pay back her debts are as endearing as they are desperate. Her “confessions” are the perfect pick-me-up when life is hanging in the (bank) balance.

1 Star Disappointed!
Our bookclub selected this for our October gathering. We were very disappointed with the book and the characters. There were many opportunities for character development ~ didn’t happen. It required more than 100 pages to get to the first really humorous situation! And for all her dingbat antics, the heroine still got the job and the millionaire ~ go figure!
5 Stars Great read 
I’ve heard a lot about the book and decided to pick it up since I heard they were making a movie. If you’re into chick lit, I found it very amusing, funny, and easy to read. The book came in quickly and was in perfect condition.
5 Stars I LOVE THIS AUTHOR
I AM SO ADDICTED TO THIS SERIES OF BOOKS… I love her humor, I can relate to her main characters lives in all of her books.. I can’t wait until she comes out with new books I’m always pre-order. TOTALLY ADDICTIVE.. even though I am not a shopaholic I get so pulled into her characters lives. She’s my fav. author…
