At the end of the last book we left Becky and Luke planning a round the world trip which I thought would take up the majority of the book. So where does the sister angle come into it?

This was the last Shopaholic book I had to read and had been told it was the least favourite of many of my friends but, as I had been challenged to read the complete series, I was determined to give it a go! I'm glad I did as I actually enjoyed it much more than Shopaholic Ties The Knot and found it a very humourous read that kept me entertained throughout as Becky Brandon returns to the real world after her honeymoon and is forced to take stock of her life!

Both parties find it difficult to slot back in to the real ...  Read the complete review
