Be sure to check out the books, too! Sophie Kinsella created a character with Becky Bloomwood that girls everywhere will adore. I won’t ruin the ending for you if you haven’t seen it, but I will say that everything works out in a way that none of the characters could have ever imagined.Ĭonfessions of a Shopaholic is such a fun, absurdly amusing chick flick that I think anyone would enjoy. Can Becky continue lying to Luke about her financial troubles and shopping addiction? Will her problem come between her and her best friend? The truth comes out in the end in a very shocking and embarrassing way for Becky, and she must finally confront her problem head on instead of running away from it. That is where things start to get interesting. Several hilarious plot twists later – including Becky telling Luke the debt collector is her ex-boyfriend turned stalker getting into a pickle by being forced to speak Finnish (which she said she was fluent in on her resume) and her misadventures at a Shopaholic’s Anonymous group – Becky and Luke find themselves attracted to each other after spending more time together.

But what they don’t know is that Becky Bloomwood is the last person anyone should be taking financial advice from. She writes a piece on it and becomes an overnight sensation in the financial advice world. Seeing journalistic potential in Becky, he takes her to press conference where she shines with her tough, relevant questions about corporate raises after customer fund cuts. Living with her rich best friend, Suze, (played by the adorably quirky Krysten Ritter) Becky finds herself out of work as a journalist and constantly dodging pesky debt collector Derek Smeath.įollowing a very entertaining interview, Becky lands the job after Luke reads an article she writes for the fashion magazine that accidentally ended up in his hands instead.

She’ll do anything to make it to a designer sale, and her problem has gotten her over $9,000 in debt. She has a shopping addiction so severe that she comes up with the most outrageous (and hilarious) stories in her head to justify her spending problem. Isla Fisher stars as Rebecca Bloomwood, a girl with a serious problem. Movie” post since the two were SO different, but rather just a review of the movie (definitely read the book, though!). After finishing the book obviously I wanted to watch the movie again to compare.

But when my best friend suggested I add it to my to-read list on Goodreads, naturally I took her advice. I had seen the movie years ago not knowing it was a series of books. I recently read Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella and really, really liked it.
