The next book comes out February 27th. I'm excited to read it, I think it will be really funny. I can just imagine what she's going to do.
Book Description: Kinsella's follow-up to Shopaholic & Sister(2004) finds the irrepressible Becky expecting her first child with her dashing husband, Luke. Naturally, there's shopping to be done: Becky is determined that her child will be as stylish as a baby can be. That includes having the best obstetrician, so when Becky learns about Venetia Carter, who caters to models and movie stars, she's determined to get herself into Venetia's practice. She succeeds, only to discover to her dismay that the stunning Venetia dated Luke in college and may still be carrying a torch for him. Becky will go to any length to keep her husband, whether it be intercepting text messages from Venetia in Latin or hiring a private detective to trail Luke and learn whether or not he has actually been unfaithful to her, rendering marriage over before it has really begun. Through it all, Becky never loses her spark, making this fifth entry in the Shopaholic series every bit as delightful and hilarious as its predecessors. Kristine Huntley

I would definitely have to agree with you there. Sounds very interesting.

I loved the 1st 3 Shopoholic books but I was really disappointed in the 4th. It made me think Kinsella should have stopped at #3. In the 4th I found Becky to be shallow and irritating. Hopefully that changes a bit in #5
Oh, BTW for Sophie Kinsella fans- she also writes under the name Madeline Wickham so check out some of those books as well!

I didn't really like Shopiholic and Sister, it just didn't make much sense to me. I didn't like the story, but this one looks good.

I actually finished this book last week. It was 100 times better than Shopoholic and Sister. It brought back the reasons I love the series to begin with: Backy's good heart combined with her I Love Lucy style antics. There were several scenes that made me laugh out loud (I defiy anyone to read Luke's reaction to Becky's letter without giggling)
