Christmas Shopaholic

By Sophie Kinsella and Kinsella Sophie

Book Overview

#1 New York Times bestselling author Sophie Kinsella returns with a festive new Shopaholic adventure filled with holiday cheer and unexpected gifts.

"Funny, charming, and the perfect read to get into the holiday spirit."--PopSugar

'Tis the season for change and Becky Brandon (n e Bloomwood) is embracing it, returning from the States to live in the charming village of Letherby and working with her best friend, Suze, in the gift shop of Suze's stately home. Life is good, especially now that Becky takes time every day for mindfulness--even if that only means listening to a meditation tape while hunting down online bargains.

But Becky still adores the traditions of Christmas: Her parents hosting, carols playing on repeat, her mother pretending she made the Christmas pudding, and the neighbors coming 'round for sherry in their terrible holiday sweaters. Things are looking cheerier than ever, until Becky's parents announce they're moving to ultra-trendy Shoreditch--unable to resist the draw of craft beer and smashed avocados--and ask Becky if she'll host this year. What could possibly go wrong?

Becky's sister demands a vegan turkey, her husband insists that he just wants aftershave (again), and little Minnie needs a very specific picnic hamper: Surely Becky can manage all this, as well as the surprise appearance of an old boyfriend-turned-rock star and his pushy new girlfriend, whose motives are far from clear. But as the countdown to Christmas begins and her bighearted plans take an unexpected turn toward disaster, Becky wonders if chaos will ensue, or if she'll manage to bring comfort and joy to Christmas after all.

Customer Reviews

Jingles all the way!

This is one of the more delightful entries in the shopaholic series. Two observations: 1) Janice, if you require brussel sprouts with chestnuts, make the d--- dish yourself, and bring it with you. 2) Minnie's teacher should be strung up by her sensible shoes for requiring endless complex at-home craft projects. I'm kidding. Mostly. The scenes involving garden salmon, the pet shop chimney, and cologne testing on Luke had me laughing out loud. Don't wait till December to read this fun book!

“Very good”

Came like new

Way to leave us hanging

I have read the whole shopaholic series and was so excited for a Christmas story! This story did not leave me disappointed except that her next book isn’t out yet. There was a part with the presents choice that I was unsure about and it just seemed odd, but at the very end of the book it all ties together and leaves you wanting to have the next book ready to dive into!
