I've told everyone before that I am not really into a foreign chicklit because somehow they're a bit more shallow than ours. What they talk about are guys, sex, guys, sex and it goes on and on until you get boring. If, they turn it into a romantic comedy movie, then it usually be more 'awwww', cuteness. But to read it, it's a complete boredom.
But not with the shopaholic series. I didn't really like the first novel because yeah it was still a complete boredom. A twenty something woman deal with a credit card chaos and then she meets a perfect man and so on and so on and so on (but love the movie anyway). And I remember it clearly like it was yesterday, why then I bought the second book. It's just because I'm bored, I want to read something, but I don't have an idea what a good book to buy. So then I bought 'Shopaholic in Manhattan'. By the time I bought it, they've been releasing 5 books and I just hit the second. Out of my expectation, it was a hilarious book! Once I read it, I can not put it down. So then I bought all four of them right away. Yeah, as a college student, I spend all my money in one blow to get all four of them.
Rebecca Bloomwood not just a woman. But she is the extraordinary one who could think creatively and create a huge jokes in her own life. And I watched her grow from a slob into a smart mother in Shopaholic and Baby. Actually, it disappoint me when I found out that Shopaholic and Baby might be the end of a Shopaholic Series. I've bought other books wrote by Sophie Kinsella eversince but none of them are this great. Until, I found out that Mini Shopaholic now hit the store! Now I get to read how Minnie Brandon doesn't have even the slightest resemblance of her mother and it pissing Becky off. I truly can't wait!!
The bad news is, I've read all of them in Bahasa so I have to buy the latest edition in Bahasa too. It's my own regulation. So, I have to wait a little bit longer to read the translated edition! hope it's not too long then! :D
