I was waiting impatiently to read this book, but now I have to confess I feel kind of dissapointed. Have you ever feel that a series goes on and on far too long? After a number of books the formula starts to repeat itself, and you have the sensation you already read this very same plot.
This was what happened with Mini-Shopaholic.
The plot will be familiar to any fan of the Shopaholic Series:
Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) now has a 2 year old daughter, Minnie, who is a little shopaholic in training and impossible to control... at least for Becky. They're still living at her parent's house (after 2 years) because the hunt for a new house has yield disaster after disaster. There's also an economic crisis, but Becky decides to throw her husband the most fab secret birthday party (Shopaholic ties the knot, anyone?), while she develops a new selling technique at the store where she's a personal shopper.
Minnie's antics are cute, and it's obvious that she's a little spoiled because Becky can't set her boundaries. Their interaction is the only thing that fresh and funny.
Obviously, Becky gets in a mess while organizing Luke's party, she fights with her friends and family, and is only rescued at the last moment by a most inconceivable ally.
Typical ending follows.
I've become tired of Becky's antics and immaturity. I mean, she was funny in the first book, but now?
Not so much.
