The Spark that Ignited the Series
In the first book, Confessions of a Shopaholic, we meet our protagonist, Rebecca Bloomwood, a young woman with a heart of gold and a serious shopping addiction. She's a journalist with a penchant for fashion, but her life is in a bit of a mess due to her inability to control her shopping habits. The story begins when Rebecca gets a job at a financial magazine, where she's tasked with writing about something she knows nothing about - personal finance.
Little did she know, this new gig would be the catalyst for a rollercoaster ride of self-discovery, love, and, of course, shopping.
A Series Born out of a Novel
The original novel, published in 2000, was such a hit that it spawned not one, not two, but six sequels! Each book in the series follows Rebecca's life as she navigates her career, relationships, and, of course, her ever-evolving wardrobe.
The Sequels: More Retail Therapy than You Can Handle
Shopaholic Abroad
In the second installment, Shopaholic Abroad, Rebecca jumps on a plane to New York City for a work assignment. But as you can imagine, this shopaholic can't resist the allure of Fifth Avenue and ends up in a world of debt and trouble. This book is a hoot if you've ever dreamed of shopping 'til you drop in the Big Apple.
Shopaholic Ties the Knot
In the third book, Shopaholic Ties the Knot, Rebecca finds herself engaged to the handsome and wealthy Luke Brandon. But as the wedding plans begin, so do the doubts and insecurities. Can Rebecca say 'I do' to love and leave her shopping addiction behind?
Shopaholic and Baby
In Shopaholic and Baby, Rebecca and Luke are expecting their first child. But as any new parent knows, having a baby is expensive! Rebecca must learn to balance her love for shopping with her new role as a mother. This book is a hilarious take on the trials and tribulations of parenthood.
Shopaholic and Sister
In Shopaholic and Sister, Rebecca's younger sister, Lara, comes to visit. Lara is the complete opposite of Rebecca - practical, sensible, and not a shopaholic in sight. But as they spend more time together, they realize they have more in common than they thought. This book is a heartwarming exploration of sisterly bonds.
Shopaholic to the Stars
