From Publishers Weekly

England is a land of plentiful shopping opportunities and colorful regional accents, and actress Kellgren nails the latter in her charming rendition of Kinsella's newest Shopaholic novel. Just home from her honeymoon, Becky Bloomwood, now the wealthy wife of Luke Brandon, learns she has a long-lost half-sister. The news delights Becky, who fantasizes about late-night sisterly chats and shared cappuccinos. But Jess turns out to be not at all what Becky expected. In a dour Cumbrian accent that contrasts deliciously with Becky's posh inflections, Jess berates Becky for her irresponsibility and belittles her addiction to shopping. Their verbal battles leave little hope for reconciliation, until serious marital troubles brought on by Becky's shopping habit find her turning to Jess for guidance. Things get worse before they get better, and Kellgren's vivacious reading never fails to plumb the depths of Becky's despair. How will Luke forgive her for setting him up with a criminal client all in the name of a coveted Angel bag? Will Jess ever speak to Becky again after she expounds on her sister's faults in front of Jess's entire small village? Ultimately, the hilarious mayhem winds down to an inevitable happy ending, avoiding deep thought in favor of pure fun.

From AudioFile

Newlywed Becky Brandon, depicted by Katherine Kellgren with a charming English accent, carries her penchant for shopping to comedic extremes in Book Four of the Shopaholic series. On a ten-month globe-trotting honeymoon with Luke, Becky maxes out credit cards and her husband's patience in avant-garde shops around the world. She returns home to find her best friend has a new best friend, her marriage is on rocky ground, and she has a new grown-up sister. Each well-drawn character is distinguished through accents, vocal tone, nuance, and personality. Good delivery, especially timing, enhances the comedic story line to bring it to a warm conclusion.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Falls slightly short on the Becky-ness, Oct. 26 2009
This review is from: Shopaholic & Sister (Paperback)
Alright, by the fourth book Becky is just wrapping up her year-long around the world honeymoon with her husband Luke, and finally they're heading back to England. Of course, Becky couldn't resist her favourite activity while on the Grand Tour, and as we all know, there are definately consequences for buying TOO much...

However, the shopping doesn't exactly stay the main focus. Instead, a "sister" is introduced, and Becky tries to bond with this new sister (Jess) with her own unique ideals and her "Becky-factor". Unfortunately, things don't always go as they plan...

Well, there was the extremely short summary of the book, which is also the two main points of the review. I feel that after three books, shopping itself is just not going to hold up. I mean, its fun to watch Becky shop in the first two books, blowing off most of her money in exchange for luxuries that most of us could only DREAM of (I loved the part where she was at Barneys, anyone else?), but its starting to get old. The third book managed to redeem itself by the craziness of the wedding, which while still involving some shopping, actually has another direction for Becky. Becuase a person could only shop so much before its just plain tedious.

Another thing is that while Becky is still warm and friendly, with her completely unique approach, her "simple" outlook and solutions are rather tiring. I mean, after going through nearly bankruptcy and saying several times that shopping should NOT be the main focus of your life, you'd think that she would actually TAKE her own advice and grow up a bit. For this book, Becky's character just feels flat as she continues to be the girl that lives her life based on her whim. That seems like a contrast from the Becky that FINALLY learned a lesson in the last book, where she should appreciate her marriage more etc. etc.

As for the character Jess, she just serves as a complete opposite of Becky that allows the latter to befriend the former. While I'm reading the book, I don't know who I'm disappointed/bored by more: Becky or her sister.

The book does have its usual quirks, and there is stil some humour along with a side story that is more enjoyable than the whole sisterly bonding, but its not quite the earlier books of the series. It seems like the author is trying to branch off into more "serious" topics while keeping the book light and easy, and managed to not quite reach the target for both goals. I personally think that she should keep it as a chick-lit, because that's the real shining point for the SHOPAHOLIC series.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Not a Jess fan, Juil 20 2007
This review is from: Shopaholic & Sister (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm sorry but im really not fond of Jess. I like the idea that they were different but Jess was just plain out annoying and rude sometimes. this was my least favourite book in the series. I think the series could've been just fine without this book. I must say that i did enjoy parts of the book (the parts that did not involve Jess)and it really did make me laugh.
I was even surprised that Jess had a part in shopaholic and baby. i was like, what is she doing here, i thought she said she didnt know for a fact who her dad was. oh well, overall it was okay.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Loved them all, Fév 10 2007
This review is from: Shopaholic & Sister (Paperback)
There's a series of these "Shopaholic" books, and this one is my favorite. As a matter of fact, I believe she's got a new one as we speak. No, this isn't great classical literature, but it is good fun without a lot of things to turn you off. Also recently read two other books I loved which were David Sedaris' "Naked" (not what it sounds like) and Jackson McCrae's "Katzenjammer" which is set in NYC and totally wacked, in a good way. If you like humor, you'll love all the "Shopaholic" series. Also try "The Devil Wears Prada"---book and movie.
