Shopaholic to the Stars: A Novel

Becky is up to her old tricks, here in Shopaholic to the Stars. Luke has a job opportunity to work with a famous actress in Hollywood, and Becky sees stars- the opportunities are endless in LA for encountering celebrities, and the shopping isn't bad either. She is gung-ho to find a celeb and act as their personal stylist. A seemingly perfect fit for Becky's skills, and an excuse to shop to her heart's content, because after all it's a business expense and therefore necessary.

But as usual, LA is more than Becky bargained for. She wants her moment in the spotlight but is it really worth it? Maybe so, maybe not.

Even though I love the characters of this series, I felt like there wasn't enough of them seen here. My favorite moments were with Minnie and the bff antics of Suze and Becky; I wanted more time spent with these chatacters than the vapid and shallow (annoying) Sage. I feel like Kinsella is running out of original material. This storyline feels familiar and it is missing the spark and humor of the first two (the best in the series, in my mind). Fans will find something to enjoy, but will be left hanging as the book ends with little resolution. Apparently another Shopaholic is soon in coming... We'll see. I feel like the story was too long and drawn out to warrant this kind of ending...
