Publisher Description

Sophie Kinsella has dazzled readers with her irresistible Shopaholic novels—sensational international bestsellers that have garnered millions of devoted fans and catapulted her into the first rank of contemporary storytellers. Now her beloved heroine Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) returns in a hilarious tale of married life, toddlerhood, and the perils of trying to give a fabulous surprise party—on a budget! Becky Brandon thought motherhood would be a breeze and that having a daughter was a dream come true: a shopping friend for life! But it’s trickier than she thought. Two-year-old Minnie has a quite different approach to shopping. Minnie creates havoc everywhere she goes, from Harrods to her own christening. Her favorite word is “Mine!” and she’s even trying to get into eBay! On top of everything else, Becky and Luke are still living with her parents (the deal on house #4 has fallen through), when suddenly there’s a huge financial crisis. With people having to “cut back,” Becky decides to throw a surprise party for Luke to cheer everyone up. But when costs start to spiral out of control, she must decide whether to accept help from an unexpected source—and therefore run the risk of hurting the person she loves. Will Becky be able to pull off the celebration of the year? Will she and Luke ever find a home of their own? Will Minnie ever learn to behave? And . . . most important . . . will Becky’s secret wishes ever come true?

    " Sigh.... I don't know why I read this series when Becky irritates the bejesus out of me!! Honestly! The woman is insane! Though some of her ridiculous antics are funny, I have to constantly fight the urge to reach in there, slap the moron and tell her to to grow the hell up!!! Good Lord!! "

    " why do i read this series when it's so predictable and at times annoying? Must be a guilty pleasure or something. The ending was a bit of a surprise, and it was cute, but the same old issues. At least they come out and are addressed in the book. The book has very little to do with the mini-shopaholic. fun, cut into my bedtime. def chick lit "

    " While most of Kinsella's books are light and predictable, this was was a bit too ridiculous for me. Becky has gotten herself into more huge messes, and of course is catered to. Maybe I'm just ready for a deeper read... "

    " I got bored in the middle of it ... How can A whole novel talk about a wife planning a surprise birthday party for her husband .. And how spoiled is her baby girl .. Not enough drama for my taste. Yet I guess it would make a one time sweet watch movie. "

    " Just another shopaholic series. Easy reading to kill time on the plane. One note, I don't think the title "mini" is suitable, it's more like birthday-bash shopaholic and how convenience it is to have someone that rich around us. "

    " Weer een lekker boek over de koopverslaafde Becky. In dit vermakelijke deel probeert ze een surpriseparty voor Luke te organiseren en heeft ze te stellen met haar klierige dochtertje. Ik vond het niet de beste uit de reeks maar wel weer heerlijk om over haar te lezen. "
