Book Review:

This is such an amazing book to read around Christmas. This is the ninth book in the series but could be read as a stand-alone.

Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) is a shopaholic. When her mother proposes to her to host Christmas she immerses herself in the adventures of Christmas shopping and the whole experience is whimsical.

It's amusing to see to what extend Becky is willing to go to make Christmas an amazing experience for her family and friends. I adored her and the other characters in the book. It is a complete package of family drama, female friendships, Christmas shopping, of course, vamp, misunderstandings, and HEA with no dull moment. I was laughing hard throughout the book and also had some happy tears during the end.

This was my first book by Sophie Kinsella and I found it very sweet. I am reading some more books by her soon.

Synopsis:

Celebrate Christmas with the ultimate Shopaholic!

The brilliant laugh-out-loud festive novel from the Number One bestselling author.

Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) adores Christmas. It's always the same – Mum and Dad hosting, carols playing, Mum pretending she made the Christmas pudding, and the next-door neighbours coming round for sherry in their terrible festive jumpers.

And now it's even easier with online bargain-shopping sites – if you spend enough you even get free delivery. Sorted!

But this year looks set to be different. Unable to resist the draw of craft beer and smashed avocado, Becky's parents are moving to ultra-trendy Shoreditch and have asked Becky if she'll host Christmas this year. What could possibly go wrong?

With sister Jess demanding a vegan turkey, husband Luke determined that he just wants aftershave again, and little Minnie insisting on a very specific picnic hamper – surely Becky can manage all this, as well as the surprise appearance of an old boyfriend and his pushy new girlfriend, whose motives are far from clear . . .

Will chaos ensue, or will Becky manage to bring comfort and joy to Christmas?
