'Fans can expect all the humor, charm and classic misadventures they have come to love about the Shopaholic series.' - Bustle 'The return of Kinsella's quirky and lovable characters who show genuine connection is reason enough to enjoy this story, but watching Becky overcome obstacles, self-imposed or otherwise, is inspirational. Kinsella delivers a solid and laugh-out-loud funny installment that longtime readers and new fans alike will gleefully devour.' - Publishers Weekly Becky is as whimsical and wonderful as ever. Praise for Christmas Shopaholic 'Funny, charming, and the perfect read to get into the holiday spirit.' - PopSugar 'Kinsella's popular heroine, Becky Bloomwood Brandon, is back for a delightful ode to shopping, in the engaging eighth Shopaholic novel, this time with a Christmas theme. But as the countdown to Christmas begins and her bighearted plans take an unexpected turn toward disaster, Becky wonders if chaos will ensue, or if she'll manage to bring comfort and joy to Christmas after all.

What could possibly go wrong? Becky's sister demands a vegan turkey, her husband insists that he just wants aftershave (again), and little Minnie needs a very specific picnic hamper: Surely Becky can manage all this, as well as the surprise appearance of an old boyfriend-turned-rock star and his pushy new girlfriend, whose motives are far from clear. Things are looking cheerier than ever, until Becky's parents announce they're moving to ultra-trendy Shoreditch-unable to resist the draw of craft beer and smashed avocados-and ask Becky if she'll host this year. But Becky still adores the traditions of Christmas: Her parents hosting, carols playing on repeat, her mother pretending she made the Christmas pudding, and the neighbors coming 'round for sherry in their terrible holiday sweaters. Life is good, especially now that Becky takes time every day for mindfulness-even if that only means listening to a meditation tape while hunting down online bargains.

'Sophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter.'-Jojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover 'Tis the season for change and Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) is embracing it, returning from the States to live in the charming village of Letherby and working with her best friend, Suze, in the gift shop of Suze's stately home.
