Product Information

I read the first four books of the series when I was in my early teens so couldn’t relate to Becky AT ALL, but was addicted all the same! 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. She got herself in completely avoidable positions and then would spend years trying to get herself out of them. Apesar de ter visto o filme (não gosto de ler depois de ver, prefiro ler primeiro e só depois ver o filme), mas nada me tinha preparado para isto.

Except, Cutting Back seems impossible, and her attempts to Make More Money just get her into trouble. But she really hopes to become a personal stylist—Sage’s personal stylist—if only Luke would set up an introduction. Dust Jackets are not guaranteed and when still present, they will have various degrees of tear and damage. I seem to have ended up reading them back to front but that hasn't been a problem because when I have gone back to earlier ones such as this I find it just added more detail and insight into the characters.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. As the plot unfolds, Rebecca finds increasingly bizarre and often highly comical ways to ignore her ever-growing debts and mounting pile of unpaid Visa bills and red bank statements. Where they are the most important and beautiful person on the planet, and you'll regret being not trying to be their best friend (a. I gave up credit cards as my solutions and it appears that she finds her own way to keep her credit and her life good by the books end.

It was easy to slip into the back of my mind, underneath the homework assignments and papers and substantial literature I was in the middle of, behind the bills to pay and the jobs to keep up with.I went on a reading spree with this series a few months ago, and I became seriously ADDICTED(I am not kidding, I read all eight books in two weeks). Speaking of which her over stimulated Visa card almost becomes a character of its own here, and her bank manager eventually does with the inclusion of hilarious letters from Endwich Bank and the ever inventive ways Becky finds to not pay her Visa bill or in most cases ever even receive it. I have written about this elsewhere in more detail, but the only aspect of our popular culture that runs strictly on merit is sports. It's a very touchy issue, but the author explores the mentality of a woman trapped by the glitter and glam of a highly materialistic society very well. Confident, single and happily living in des-res Fulham with her best friend Suze, she's a financial journalist who spends her days writing articles advising other people on the importance of budgeting and prudent investing.

As a fan of Kinsella, I just adore her writing style, her sense of humor, and her stellar skill for chick lit. The Guy seems intelligent and rational, so why he would hitch himself to a financial disaster in Prada heels is beyond me. Sophie wrote her first novel under her real name, Madeleine Wickham, at the tender age of 24, whilst she was working as a financial journalist.

And because all the growth she experienced was in keeping with her self-centered character, it felt real, plausible, making her likable and somehow relatable.

I choose this novel because when I read this novel, I can feel enjoy, and this novel is funny and exciting. She stuffs things into trucks, she keeps the letters in a drawer she never opens, anything to avoid the fact that she's got bills to pay. Sometimes, my willpower can overrule that temptation, though passing through the Times Square and the Fifth Ave area multiple times during the week for work really weakens my resolve.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. If there is a male equivalent to women’s mindless and completely uncool pursuit of name-brand (read: expensive) fashion, it would be a dude with a mullet peeling out in a Trans Am in the parking lot of a strip club blaring a Ted Nugent anthem. Millions of readers have come to adore New York Times best-selling author Sophie Kinsella’s irrepressible heroine. I thought this girl book would be fun, it would be like a new girl friend, getting to now good and bad about her, how she thinks about life.
