줄거리 소개
쇼핑광 Becky, 맨하탄에 상륙하다! 전편『Confessions of a Shopaholic』에서 현대인의 쇼핑중독을 여과없이 보여주었던 그녀가 이번에는 애인 Luke의 뉴욕 출장에 동행하게 된다. 이번에도 그녀는 쇼핑천국 뉴욕에서 자신의 충동을 이기지 못하고 쇼핑중독증이 다시금 발동하는데...여전히 좌충우돌 사고뭉치이지만 결코 미워할 수 없는 Becky의 사랑스러운 캐릭터와 이를 잘 뒷받침 해주는 재기발랄한 문체가 재미를 더한다. 중간중간에 삽입된 은행으로부터의 편지, 신용카드 한도 안내문 등이 내용을 더욱 실감나게 한다.
"This expensive, glossy world is where I've been headed all along. Limos and flowers; waxed eyebrows and designer clothes from Barneys. These are my people; this is where I'm meant to be."
-Becky Bloomwood
Universally beloved by readers, Sophie Kinsella's national bestseller, Confessions of a Shopaholic, introduced the irrepressible one-woman shopping phenomenon, Becky Bloomwood. Now, in this hilarious follow-up, Becky and her credit cards are headed across the Atlantic....
With her shopping excesses (somewhat) in check and her career as a TV financial guru thriving, Becky's biggest problem seems to be tearing her entrepreneur boyfriend, Luke, away from work for a romantic country weekend. And worse, figuring out how to "pack light." But packing takes on a whole new meaning when Luke announces he's moving to New York for business-and he asks Becky to go with him!
Before you can say "Prada sample sale," Becky has landed in the Big Apple, home of Park Avenue penthouses and luxury department stores.
Surely it's only a matter of time until she becomes an American TV celebrity, and she and Luke are the toast of Gotham society. Nothing can stand in their way, especially with Becky's bills miles away in London.
But then an unexpected disaster threatens her career prospects, her relationship with Luke, and her available credit line! Shopaholic Takes Manhattan-but will she have to return it?
