Lately, I'd been thinking about the books I read when I was a kid/teen, and I thought about maybe rereading a couple of them to see if they held up to my love for them. Confessions of a Shopaholic is one of them. My mum read the entire series and I often borrowed books from her because they looked interesting. Now I already knew going into this book that I wouldn't love it, because I have realised in the last ten years that contemporary (and more specifically contemporary romance) just isn't my thing. Still, I wanted to reread this book because I have access to the entire series, and they might be nice to read in between all the 'big' books I usually pick up.

I have to admit this book only got three stars for nostalgia sake if I had read this book for the first time this year I probably would have ended up with maybe a 2 or 2.5 star. I just don't love this book as much as I guess I did years ago. I hated Becky as a main character, she was just so annoying and very judgy over other people. I loved her daydreaming about a better life, though, because I do that all the time, but other than that I just got annoyed by her every time.

I fully understand shopping is a proper addiction and people go bankrupt every day because they just can't stop buying, but Becky just overdid it in my opinion. I mean sure, you can say something about me buying too many books, but at least I buy them with my actual money and don't put it all on a credit card I have no intention of paying off. 

Oh well, at least the book is entertaining and I did also kind of enjoy the movie (might rewatch it soon, just cuz I can).
