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?

Mini Shopaholic Listener Reviews

" 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 "
— Caroline, 2/16/2014 -
" Painfully funny with a fun twist at the end. The shopaholic series is not my favorite but still enjoyable. "
— Erin, 2/4/2014 -
" 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... "
— Lauren, 1/31/2014 -
" This book was as good as any of the Shopaholic books. I was definitely entertained and it was a nice light read to get me through being home with sick kids! :) "
— Jane, 1/30/2014 -
" I couldnt finish it. The self indulgence was over the top and despite being in the mood for light fare, I couldnt get into it at all. "
— Judy, 1/29/2014 -
" 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. "
— Sandybelle_q8, 1/23/2014 -
" 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. "
— mellyana, 1/21/2014 -
" I enjoy these books so much, maybe because she is the exact opposite of me. "
— Marcia, 1/20/2014 -
" A tad disappointed. I was hoping to have more chapters about Minnie, but my expectations was deeply inflated. "
— Kazu, 1/17/2014 -
" Probably my least favorite of these guilty pleasure books. :) But it was still nice to see Becky back! "
— Lisa, 1/1/2014 -
" Awsome and funny :) I loved it! The only problem was that I finished it too quickly... "
— Amanda, 12/29/2013 -
" 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. "
— Sonja, 12/16/2013 -
" The weakest of the series. "
— TRACE.C, 10/8/2013 -
" Summer reading has begun!!!! I was hooked on the Shopaholic books back in college...looking forward to reading the latest installment. I thought the last book was the *last* one so I'm thrilled that Sophie Kinsella wrote a new one! "
— Priscilla, 6/25/2013 -
" It was cute but quite boring. "
— Laura, 5/2/2013 -
" Book #6 in the Shopaholic series by Sophia Kinsella. The misguided-good-intentioned adventures of Becky Bloomwood made me cringe and chuckle as always. "
— Becca, 2/28/2013 -
" I laughed a lot. Not great, but a little bit heartwarming and lots of fun. Sophie Kinsella will always hold a special place in my heart. "
— Kate, 12/18/2012 -
" I loved this book!! Is this the last book in the series? I'm still not sure. I hope not! The ending, although satisfying for this book isn't how I would like the series to end! "
— Meg, 9/23/2012 -
" I was so glad when Becky came back thank you Sophie for writing another book and for making it just as amazing as the other five i loved where Becky's life had taken her and i loved mini, Luke as always was swoon-worthy i can't wait till shopaholic takes hollywood "
— Laura, 5/5/2012 -
" Abysmal. But I had bought it at the airport and figured I should finish it before I did read-and-return. "
— Kristie, 4/2/2012 -
" I'm a huge fan of the "Shopaholic" books and this one didn't diappoint! Writing still feels fresh, situations are new, and it's a fun, lighthearted book. "
— Jaxmarie, 1/23/2012 -

" Pure fun! A bit of mind candy and lots of laughs. Great beach book! "
— Whit, 11/13/2011 -
" I know, I know...judge me. I hated the Pulitzer Prize winning 'Oscar Wao' but loved this. I'm only a little ashamed and only slightly considering naming my child Minnie. "
— Kate, 9/14/2011 -
" I love all of the Shopaholic books. Quick, fun, chick lit read! "
— Candi, 5/23/2011 -
" A nice light read, in amongst all of the picture book reading that I was doing for LIBR 2410 (Children's Services). "
— Honeybee, 5/23/2011 -
" I just love every book in this series. I was seriously laughing out loud! But is it kind of bad that Becky sometimes reminds me of myself? "
— Lauren, 5/23/2011 -
" I realized half way through I've never read the shopaholic baby book :( I would have liked to have read them in order ... but a fun Sophie Kinsella book anyway "
— Lynn, 5/22/2011 -
" And she's back! After a long hiatus, I missed Becky... So so much. And Minnie's speaking now. Well, saying "mine" that is. Thinking now that Becky has Minnie, she'll sombre down a little, nope. She's still crazy, but at most time overshadowed by her daughter. "
— Felicia, 5/21/2011 -
" Enjoyable read, but not exactly *deep*. "
— Lena, 5/21/2011 -
" Better than the previous 2 Shopaholics - the series is back and track and can continue. "
— Jenni, 5/20/2011 -
" Made me laugh out-loud in spots just for it's ridiculousness but otherwise a complete piece of fluff. Is there anyone THIS dense? I hope not. Easy, breezy read but glad I'm done. "
— Anne, 5/20/2011 -
" meh... Exactly how much shopping can one woman do and NOT damage her child in some way?? "
— Melanie, 5/19/2011 -
" Not the best in the series, but still an enjoyable read. Seems like she left room for another "Shopaholic" book. I'm ready for it. "
— Diana, 5/19/2011 -
" I have to say I'm a complete Sophie Kinsella addict. The Shopaholic series is definitely a pleasure, and the newest in the series is no different. I love Minnie! I am so excited for the next installment, I just can't wait! "
— Rjpants, 5/18/2011 -
" Not my favorite of the shopaholic series, but still a lot of fun. "
— Lindsay, 5/18/2011 -
" carino ma dopo 3-4-5 libri la serie inizia a stare un pò stretta... sono tutti uguali a parte la parensi di shopaholic with my sister....letto in inglese. "
— Michela, 5/18/2011 -
" Still fun and entertaining. I just think that, as with most series, the characters are starting to become stale. "
— Stephanie, 5/18/2011 -
" Yup I read this and thought it was funny. Don't judge me. "
