Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella

2.0

If you pick up this book, I’m sure you mostly know what you’re getting into. The main character is a literal shopping addict, who loves fashion and thinking of no one but herself. 

I personally don’t care for fancy clothes or designers or anything related to fashion, and a lot of this book talks about those exact topics. So why did I pick this up? I love the movie! Honestly the movie is one of my favorites from when I was a kid—not because of the clothes or shopping aspect, but because she was very much a girly girl, who liked girly things, and still ended up with the guy and the career. That’s a nice story! The rest of it, which is what this book was really about, was not for me. I don’t care about Gucci or sales on scarves—I do care that Luke (aka Hugh Dancy) is hot and respects our main character. So if you’re like me, and wanting to read it because of your love of the movie—skip it and just watch the movie again with subtitles.
