Confessions of a Shopaholic (Sophie Kinsella)

Rebecca Bloomwood is infuriating at times, endearing at others, and completely clueless most of the time.  It is hard to believe that Rebecca was hired to write about finances while having absolutely no clue about or interest in the arena.  However, if you are able to take away the details like this, the book is entertaining enough.  Rebecca's sweet demeanor and innocent mishaps lead the reader to enjoy and care for the protagonist.  It is easy to get through, and a pretty quick innocent read.

If you are looking to pass some time while relaxing poolside, I would recommend this for you. 






The film doesn't stick with the original plot-line, but it has an endearing side of its own.  Despite the story's adjustments, the overall theme is adhered to.  It is a simple romantic comedy that didn't do all that well at the box office.  Isla Fisher is totally cute, and embodies the character of Rebecca Bloomwood very nicely.  If you are thinking about having a girl's night, pick up this DVD and bottle of wine.
