Shopping has really changed for me over the years. Or maybe I’ve changed. The days when I was a single girl, living in Fulham with Suze and going round the shops every day, seem ages ago now. Yes, I used to spend too much. I’ll freely admit it. I’ve made mistakes. Like Frank Sinatra, I did it my way. But I’ve learned some important lessons, which have genuinely changed the way I go about things. Like, for example: I think readers of Shopaholic series will enjoy this novel, and although I can see how people who aren't familiar with it could have a fun time devouring Christmas Shopaholic, I would recommend to start from the beginning to get familiar with all the characters. If you are a fan of this series this is an absolute must! If you have not read the series yet, what are you waiting for? This is Sophie Kinsella at her finest! A delightful lighthearted story that is guaranteed to fill you with the holiday spirit! Fa la la la la la shopaholic!
