Publisher Description
Sophie Kinsella has conquered the hearts of millions with her New York Times bestselling Shopaholic novels, which feature the irresistible one-woman shopping phenomenon Becky Bloomwood. Now Becky’s back in a hilarious, heartwarming tale of married life, best friends, and long-lost sisters (and the perils of simply having to own an Angel handbag!). What’s a round-the-world honeymoon if you can’t buy the odd souvenir to ship back home? Like the Chinese urns and twenty silk dressing gowns Becky found in Hong Kong…the five kilim rugs from Turkey…the splendid hand-carved dining table (and ten chairs) from Sri Lanka…the, um, huge wooden giraffes from Malawi (that her husband Luke expressly forbade her to buy)… Only now Becky and Luke have returned home to London and Luke is furious. Two truckloads of those souvenirs have cluttered up their usually immaculate loft, and the bills for them are outrageous. Becky’s even maxed out on her second secret credit card, and she doesn’t have a new job yet! Luke insists she go on a budget. And worse: her beloved best friend Suze has found a new best friend while Becky was away. Becky’s feeling rather blue—when her parents deliver some incredible news. She has a long-lost sister! Becky is thrilled! She’s convinced her sister will be a true soulmate. They’ll go shopping together, drink cappuccinos together, have manicures together, and watch their favorite videos together. Until she meets Jessica for the first time and gets the shock of her life. Surely Becky Bloomwood’s sister can’t…hate shopping?

"Out of the three Shopaholic books I've read thus far, this is by far the best in my opinion. It's super funny, fast paced, quirky, and just plain good fun reading material. I enjoyed this book more than the others due to the fact that Becky's catastrophes weren't blown out of proportion and dragged out to kingdom come, thus making them more realistic. After almost not finishing "Shopaholic Ties the Knot" I felt a little nervous about starting the next installment, but I was pleasantly surprised. I even liked it so much I managed to finish it in one sitting. Here's to hoping Kinsella can continue her quality of writing onto the next books."

— kt, 2/3/2014 -
" This book is hilarious! I laughed at least once every chapter! A perfect chic lit book and a great book to bring to the beach! I still think the 3rd Shopaholic book is still the best but Shopaholic and sister is still amazing! "
— Darcy, 1/29/2014 -
" This was the 4th book. This one was ok - the whole thing with her sister was kind of weird. "
— Brandy, 1/19/2014 -

— Merja, 12/9/2013 -
" Shopaholic is back and I enjoyed the continuing story. Okay, maybe a bit recycled and maybe Becky should really get a reality check and curb the lying -- but, this is a character and a series that you will either enjoy or not. I enjoy. "
— Debbie, 12/5/2013 -
" Very slow in the beginning, then gradually it picked up! "
— Nisha, 12/4/2013 -

— Tacey, 9/29/2013 -
" Didn't like this one as much. The thing is, once this series has a hold on you, you can't stop. It's sort of addictive in that way. "

" Becky Bloomwood finds out she has a sister and is over the moon. She imagines all the amazing things they can do together and all they will have in common, which turns out to be practically nothing. This book is hilarious and Becky is as much of a lovable bumbling idiot as usual! "
