The 4th book in the shopaholic series. A quick and entertaining read. In this book, Becky discovers that she has a long-lost sister, something she'd always wanted. Alas, the sister is the exact opposite of Becky with a strong aversion to consumerism! She tries to get Becky to be more frugal, but off course that leads to tension between them. However all is logically, yet magically fixed and everyone's happy in the end.

At the end of the previous book, we get to know that Becky is pregnant! And this book brings to light a whole new category of shopping: Baby stuff! And so, as expected, we have her going crazy getting the best for the baby from clothes to doctors! This leads to many confrontations and awkward situations and such with Luke, her husband and others. Eventually everything goes well and the little girl is born.

Becky's back, and with a 2-year old in tow!
The final (?) book in the series is about the Shopaholic's life 2 years after baby Mini. They've sold the old, kid-unfriendly house and have temporarily moved in with Becky's parents
This whole series was very light, witty and entertaining. And Sophie Kinsella moves to the top of my chick flick authors list!
