Book Description
Becky Brandon thinks that having a daughter is a dream come true: a shopping friend for life! But two-year-old Minnie has a quite different approach to shopping. The toddler 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 nationwide 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?

Perfect Escape....,
By Shoeless (Toronto, ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mini Shopaholic: A Novel (Paperback)
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Nice Light Read,
This review is from: Mini Shopaholic: A Novel (Paperback)
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.

Not the best of the series,
By
This review is from: Mini Shopaholic: A Novel (Hardcover)
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. I don't have kids, so perhaps some of the "mom of a toddler" humour is lost on me, but I didn't find most of Minnie's "escapades" funny or cute. I just saw a bratty and indulged kid. Becky used to be flighty and fun (and humorously irresponsible), but these attributes lose some of their charm when no longer seen as the traits of a young single (or married) woman, but of a mother. Of course, it is just a book, so isn't meant to be taken too seriously. If this were the first of my Shopoholic reads, though, I don't think that I would continue on to others in the series.
