Sophie Kinsella has dazzled readers with her irresistible Shopaholic novels—sensational international bestsellers that have garnered millions of devoted fans and catapulted her into the first rank of contemporary storytellers. Now her beloved heroine Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) returns in a hilarious tale of married life, toddlerhood, and the perils of trying to give a fabulous surprise party—on a budget!
Becky Brandon thought motherhood would be a breeze and that having a daughter was a dream come true: a shopping friend for life! But it’s trickier than she thought. Two-year-old Minnie has a quite different approach to shopping.
Minnie creates havoc everywhere she goes, from Harrods to her own christening. Her favorite word is “Mine!” and she’s even trying to get into eBay! On top of everything else, Becky and Luke are still living with her parents (the deal on house #4 has fallen through), when suddenly there’s a huge financial crisis.
With people having to “cut back,” Becky decides to throw a surprise party for Luke to cheer everyone up. But when costs start to spiral out of control, she must decide whether to accept help from an unexpected source—and therefore run the risk of hurting the person she loves.
Will Becky be able to pull off the celebration of the year? Will she and Luke ever find a home of their own? Will Minnie ever learn to behave? And . . . most important . . . will Becky’s secret wishes ever come true?

I loved this! It was exactly how I expected and just like the other books in the series. Great and funny!

I read this book recently as a switch from educational and work related reads. I have enjoyed the wild adventures that Rebecca and Minnie and crew have had. If the author had another book out in the series after this, I would read it...
That being said: I did find myself slightly frustrated in the story line across the series because it appears that Rebecca really hasn't developed as a character/person. She's continually making the same mistakes. The movie version of the first Shopaholic book felt like it had more resolution. Like she'd actually had learned something, where as in this edition she's teaching her bad habits to her little one.

Awesome new story about Becky Brandon. A bit less intense than the previous ones, but I loved it. Normally I read serious classical books, this one is a nice change to have once in a while.

Major disappointment

The series is still good, but this one wasn't the best of the bunch. The first three novels were by far the best in the Shopaholic series, but reading "Mini Shopaholic" is like... Read more

Not the best of the series
Not my favourite of the series. While it is nice to see a new novel by Kinsella, this contribution doesn't match up to previous Shopaholic books. Read more
