With her shopping excesses (somewhat) in check and her career as a TV financial guru thriving, Becky Bloomwood’s biggest problem seems to be tearing her entrepreneur boyfriend, Luke, away from work for a romantic country weekend. That is, until Luke announces he’s moving to New York for business—and he asks Becky to go with him! Before you can say “Prada sample sale,” Becky has landed in the Big Apple, home of Park Avenue penthouses and luxury department stores. Surely it’s only a matter of time until Becky becomes an American celebrity. She and Luke will be the toast of Gotham society. Nothing can stand in their way, especially with Becky’s bills an ocean away in London. But then an unexpected disaster threatens her career prospects, her relationship with Luke, and her available credit line. Becky may have taken Manhattan—but will she have to return it? Praise for Sophie Kinsella and Shopaholic Takes Manhattan “Kinsella’s Bloomwood is plucky and funny. . . . You won’t have to shop around to find a more winning protagonist.”—People “A laugh-a-minute read.”—Glamour (U.K.) “Faster than a swiping Visa, more powerful than a two-for-one coupon, able to buy complete wardrobes in a single sprint through the mall—it’s Shopaholic!”—The Washington Post “Kinsella has a genuine gift for comic writing.”—The Boston Globe

Or else I take a long bath with Jo Malone bath oil.What was your most memorable date (good or bad)? On my eighteenth birthday I had dinner planned with my (then) boyfriend.

I appreciate their loyalty, humour and sense of fun. What woman in history do you admire the most? Emmeline Pankhurst, who led the suffrage movement.

As a financial journalist on the magazine Pensions World, having to write the most boring articles in the world!What would your theme song be? ‘We Are Family’ by Sister Sledge.

I studied music and would have loved to have been a singer-songwriter. What actress would you want to play you in a movie? Sandra Bullock as she is so funny and human and has long dark hair like me.

The entire ending of Shopaholic Ties The Knot – as when I first started writing it I had no idea how I would get Becky out of her mess!
