I really enjoyed this one. My favourite since the first and definitely an improvement over the last instalment. In this 4th novel in the Shopaholic series, Becky meets her half sister that she didn't know she had, and to her disappointment, she's her polar opposite. So, obviously, we meet a new character. I didn't care much for Jess at first. She was a bit... actually no, a Lot extreme. I get she's thrifty and everything, but excited about getting free rotted bananas? Eeek. I did warm up to her at the end I guess. The long lost sister angle did add some emotional waves to the story, and we still had a lot of the good old gullible Becky and her inability to say No. I especially enjoy how she makes up these whole scenarios in her head of what she thinks she can make happen. It's so absurd that it's adorable. Her relationship with Luke progresses, though slowly and a bit unrealistically. Still, I like Luke and I think they make a great couple. The books wouldn't be the same without them together. Suze appears a lot more in this novel than the last, which is great! She's so cute. Though I hope Danny will make another appearance. I loved his sense of humour. I'm looking forward to continuing the series. The next could be very interesting since the title - Shopaholic and Baby - kind of gives away that she will be having a little one. That's inevitably going to be the foundation of plenty of humorous Becky moments.
