Shopaholic Ties the Knot
Life has been good for Becky Bloomwood: She’s become the best personal shopper at Barneys, she and her successful entrepreneurial boyfriend, Luke, are living happily in Manhattan’s West Village, and her new next-door neighbor is a fashion designer! But with her best friend, Suze, engaged, how can Becky fail to notice that her own ring finger is bare? Not that she’s been thinking of marriage (or diamonds) or anything . . . Then Luke proposes! Bridal registries dance in Becky’s head. Problem is, two other people are planning her wedding: Becky’s overjoyed mother has been waiting forever to host a backyard wedding, with the bride resplendent in Mum’s frilly old gown. While Luke’s high-society mother is insisting on a glamorous, all-expenses-paid affair at the Plaza. Both weddings for the same day. And Becky can’t seem to turn down either one. Can everyone’s favorite shopaholic tie the knot before everything unravels?

Looking forward to this. Hopefully it will bring me out of my reading slump :)

Noella, I will start reading this once I finish the second one. I apologize for not finishing it yet. These last few days have been crazy!

@Aly No worries

End of chapter 2
(view spoiler)[A June wedding is such short notice! I liked that Luke was upfront to Becky about wanting to marry. Unlike Becky who panicked and lied about wanting to wait ten years. (hide spoiler)]

End of chapter 5
(view spoiler)[I could totally understand how the extravagant hotel wedding would be hard to turn down! Becky has a bit of a tricky decision to make (hide spoiler)]

end chapter 12
(view spoiler)[Becky is annoying me so much right now. she needs to sort it out or too many people will get hurt! (hide spoiler)]

End chapter 18
(view spoiler)[Pfft it always seems to work out for Becky with not much work on her part...I'm a bit disappointes because I wanted to see Becky confront her dilemma! (hide spoiler)]

Finished
(view spoiler)[I'm surprised Becky managed to pull that stunt off at the Plaza. It was sweet how she decided to go ahead with wearing her mother's dress at her actual wedding. The around the world first-class trip as a honeymoon? Sounds so good. But not so good for Becky's and Luke's pockets! (hide spoiler)]

She is the worst for sure! I wanted to slap her silly!

Will you girls get to Mini Shopaholic? I will join then :)

----- Book 4 -----

@Brooke
Sorry Brooke, Finally got started!

Chapter 2
(view spoiler)[Can't Becky be honest with Luke? He can read her like a book but she still won't admit the truth when it comes to her outrageous spending habits! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 2
[spoilers removed]"

It's okay :D i will start it tomorrow, need to finish another book and get a different one read as well tonight. i took a day off yesterday from reading to clean my house, so i feel behind.

Chapter 9
(view spoiler)[Becky's got too much pride and would rather lose Suze's friendship than communicate that she feels left out?!

And Luke sees right through her yet she still won't come clean. Come on Becky! (hide spoiler)]

18% (view spoiler)[ Secret credit cards hidden in compacts? Genius!!

Tom is making me depressed.

Her parents are being a bit douchey right now (hide spoiler)]

39% (view spoiler)[ Wow this is turning into the saddest shopping trip ever, stop forcing her Becky!! (hide spoiler)]

45% (view spoiler)[ I know becky is gonna mess this hotel shit all up!! (hide spoiler)]

60% (view spoiler)[ i badly want to see becky's will! She must have like 30pgs worth of stuff in it! (hide spoiler)]

83% (view spoiler)[ Well thanks to foreshadowing i know she'll get lost up on the mountain! (hide spoiler)]

Ending thoughts
(view spoiler)[ They're just gonna assume she is preggo and go with it?! Yah they hinted at trying, but there wasn't much else said, i say BULLY!

I liked this book lots thou regardless :D (hide spoiler)]

Ready for book 5 when you guys are :D

Haven't started book four yet

Chapter 13
(view spoiler)[The sisters are complete opposites! extreme opposites lol. Jess is kind of ungrateful at the lengths Becky goes for her which I don't like! (hide spoiler)]

Noella wrote: "Chapter 13
[spoilers removed]"

Right!! I hated Jess! at least til the end :D

Chapter 18
(view spoiler)[I can understand Jess' reaction to Becky at the meeting. Becky has a tendency to make stuff up and cause trouble.. at first glance, people would think Jess was rude but they just don't know Becky yet! Lol (hide spoiler)]

This sounds interesting I wish someone would start from the beginning with me ?

@Shay
You'll fly through these books once you get started cos they're addictive :P

(view spoiler)[It was funny how they started to bond once stuck on the mountain together. Poor angel bag though! (hide spoiler)]

@noella I just noticed that the shopaholic one mentioned above is #3 in a series . Should I jump right into that one or start from the beginning with book #1 ?

You should start from the beginning ofc :)
You can ask if anyone wants to buddy read at this thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

(view spoiler)[The ending was funny! Becky vs Luke's client. Things always seem to turn! It's interesting she decided to give away her Angel bag XD

I figured she was hence the next book's title :D but still! Are you ready to read the next book yet? i can start today or tomorrow if you want!

Yep got the book on hand. Will prob start Sunday though

Chapter 3
(view spoiler)[As expected Becky has gone back to square one. she's taken in nothing from her sister! But at least she decided to come clean about the celeb doctor instead of spinning lies. I really don't like that she always gets what she wants like what happened with the house owner who was easily persuaded with a pair of boots >.< (hide spoiler)]

26% (view spoiler)[ oh becky, you're investing all wrong. but i have a feeling her crazy investing is gonna win :D Also, she has like 3 different bank accounts, in different countries, i got some respect for her balls here (hide spoiler)]

Noella wrote: "Chapter 3
[spoilers removed]"

Hey for the right pair of boots, i'll sell my house to you ;)

40% (view spoiler)[ Becky's bank for girls :D now there's a bank i can trust my money with! (hide spoiler)]

62% (view spoiler)[ holy crap, i'm so worried, like crazy worried, Luke you better not let me down here!!!! (hide spoiler)]

Ending Thoughts
(view spoiler)[ Well, Minnie? What kind of name is that. Also Tom is in need of a straight jacket, ASAP please :D I'm so glad Luke didn't disappoint me and that the "red headed b*tch" got what was coming to her!!!! I am excited to see what trouble Becky can get into with Minnie :D (hide spoiler)]

Ready for :D

Chapter 7
(view spoiler)[I can't believe she bought a pram just to put her shopping in... (hide spoiler)]
