Shopaholic and a Sister by Sophie Kinsella

Oh, Becky Bloomwood... what can I say? She drives me crazy. I really feel like shaking her. She really is addicted to shopping for simply the sake of shopping and doesn't seem to learn. That said, she is charming, good hearted and really means well. In this, 4 or 5th book in the Shopaholic series, Becky and Luke are on their yearlong honeymoon trip around the world. And of course, Becky considers it a world shopping trip. But I can see how easy it is to shop and not know how much you have purchased when you have everything shipped home. Hmmm... I suppose that's why D didn't want to sent things right to the room although the Disney resort offered that privilege. Anyway, when they returned home, she ended up with 2 trucks full of stuff! Whew! And while they are away, lots had happened - her best friend Suze had twins and found a new best friend, and her father found out that he had a daughter that he didn't know about! Becky is excited to find out about her new sister and imagines wonderful bonding over shopping. Becky has a rude awakening. Imagine Becky's surprise when she finds out that her half-sister is a no frills person who hates shopping and everything else she thinks is fun. Yes, hates! They part on a poor note when they each say not so pleasant things to the other. Then things come to a head when Luke finds out Becky promised his PR firm would work on a hotel opening for a man with a poor reputation. A reputation that Luke does not want his PR firm associated with. And Becky places Luke in this dilemma when during their last days of their honeymoon, the man helps Becky get a coveted 2ooo euro "Angel" bag with a long waiting list. Luke leaves Becky for the hotel opening on a poor note. And Becky, in her devastation, goes to find her sister in order to learn to be more like her. Becky learns that she and her sister are more alike than they realized.
