Mini Shopaholic starts, as you might expect, in a shopping mall where young Minnie is wrestling with Becky over a toy pony that she just has to have! Becky is trying to look like the responsible parent in public and tries reasoning with a increasinly loud Minnie. I knew this book wouldn’t deviate from my expectations and I was right. I am a HUGE Sophie Kinsella fan – she is one of my favourite authors, chicklit or otherwise, as every single one of her books (and I’ve read them all) make me laugh out loud and they are the ultimate tonic for me. I have been literally chomping at the bit since I found out that this book was coming out. My very favourite Calamity-Jane, Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood), is double trouble in this latest giggle-fest as hanging on to her Gucci coat tails is two year old Minnie, who comes complete with her own very finely tuned shopping instincts. She’s ba-aack! And this time she has a mini-me in tow. Who will end up on the naughty step, who will get a gold star and will Becky s secret wishes come true?” To cheer everyone up, Becky decides to throw a surprise birthday party on a budget but then things become really complicated. People are having to Cut Back including all of Becky s personal shopping clients and she and Luke are still living with Becky s Mum and Dad. On top of everything else, there s a big financial crisis. She hires taxis at random, her favourite word is Mine, and she s even started bidding for designer bags on ebay. She can create havoc everywhere from Harrods to Harvey Nicks to her own christening.

“Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) thought motherhood would be a breeze and that having a daughter was a dream come true a shopping friend for life!īut it s trickier than she thought two-year-old Minnie has a quite different approach to shopping.
