I have to admit that I was giggling non-stop when I first read Kinsella’s first effort, Confessions of a Shopaholic. It’s so hillarious that I don’t mind reading it over and over again. Believe it or not, when I’m down, I’ll read the book and instantly, my face will lit up. The same can be said about Kinsella’s latest effort. After Becky’s misadventure as a financial journalist, she went to Manhattan with her guy, Luke and finally tied the knot with Luke, her long-lost sister came out of nowhere. Apparently, her dad was with a girl before he met her mom and the girl got pregnant without his knowledge. The girl married another man and they raised her daughter whom she named Jessica.
Before Jessica’s appearance Becky and Luke were honeymooning in India. It was hillarious. Can you believe that Becky actually ran across a charcoal-filled ground just to get to the peddlar who was selling bracellets or some sort. I had a good laugh on that one.
When Becky and Luke finally got home from their honeymoon, she was told by Luke to stop spending on unnecesary items as she’s not working and that she can’t afford to pay it. Fortunately for her, Luke is kind enough to pay off her visa debts.
When Becky finally meet her sister, she was overjoyed. She never had a sister. All this time, she was an only child. She started to think of the shoppings trips that she and her sister will go.
She was so wrong. Jessica is her total opposite. She may hate her sister at one point, but along the way she learnt a valuable lesson from her…and her sister, in turn, from her…
