Praise for Sophie Kinsella and her Shopaholic novels

“Kinsella has a genuine gift for comic writing.”—The Boston Globe
“Kinsella’s Bloomwood is plucky and funny. . . . You won’t have to shop around to find a more winning protagonist.”—People

Becky is up to her old tricks, here in Shopaholic to the Stars. Luke has a job opportunity to work with a famous actress in Hollywood, and Becky sees stars- the opportunities are endless in LA for encountering celebrities, and the shopping isn't bad either. She is gung-ho to find a celeb and act as their personal stylist. A seemingly perfect fit for Becky's skills, and an excuse to shop to her heart's content, because after all it's a business expense and therefore necessary.
But as usual, LA is more than Becky bargained for. She wants her moment in the spotlight but is it really worth it? Maybe so, maybe not.
Even though I love the characters of this series, I felt like there wasn't enough of them seen here. My favorite moments were with Minnie and the bff antics of Suze and Becky; I wanted more time spent with these chatacters than the vapid and shallow (annoying) Sage. I feel like Kinsella is running out of original material. This storyline feels familiar and it is missing the spark and humor of the first two (the best in the series, in my mind). Fans will find something to enjoy, but will be left hanging as the book ends with little resolution. Apparently another Shopaholic is soon in coming... We'll see. I feel like the story was too long and drawn out to warrant this kind of ending...

It used to be that I used to be disappointed in the years that a standalone novel was released and it seemed like eons until a new "Becky" book was released. Ever since Shopaholic & Sister I've been enjoying the standalones more than the Becky books... and this continues with Shopaholic to the Stars. It is better than Mini Shopaholic but it is a marginal improvement.
In this installment Luke's job takes them to LA where Becky decides she's going to become a stylist to the stars and is willing to do anything to secure the job. There's lots of stupidity, lots of shopping and lots of WTFs said. I must admit I had to put it down for a few days because the start of the book was just ridiculous.
I think that the reason this series is growing stale is because Becky hasn't grown at all, nor matured. While being silly is what "got her here" it's also something that grows old and it is.
I also have an issue with the fact that this book has quite a few threads left undone and the ending is an abrupt cliffhanger. Not a fan.

I've read all of the Shopaholic books, and this one was definitely not as good as some of the early ones. There were still some very funny moments, and some of the dialogue was hilarious, but I would only recommend this to people who are big fans of the series.
In the early books, Becky always seemed naive and oblivious, and her habit of getting herself into tricky situations seemed sweet and funny. In Shopaholic to the Stars, Becky came across as incredibly self-centered, rude, and thoughtless. She is supposed to be an adult- a married woman and a mother. At what point is she ever going to actually grow as a person? Probably never, unfortunately.
The book ends in a cliffhanger, with one major storyline unfinished and many subplots unresolved. I suppose this is supposed to lead into the next book, but it just makes this one seem incomplete. I'm not sure if I'll read another Shopaholic book. This one had some amusing parts, but I was aggravated as often as I was amused.

It feels like the story has been told already. I know it's only a chick lit and i shouldn't expect too much and just enjoy it but it was just the same Becky MO as usual.
Becky gets excited, Becky looses contact with reality and pushes everyone away, Becky gets in trouble, Luke arrives and puts everything right. I think it's time to let her grow up, we all love ditsy Becky but c'mon she can only be young and careless for so long.
Next book should be a right platform for a new Becky.

I've read and reread the first three books of this series. Those books are seriously funny and make me laugh outloud.
This entry falls decidedly short of the previous books. I don't know if I am just getting tired of Becky's lack of growth as a person or just because it's basically the same plot revisited. Her daughter, Minnie, is more mature than Becky.
The plot is predictable and focuses on a super annoying character, Sage. Then Alicia B$#%@ Longlegs enters, not as the person we all love to hate, but a spiritual guru. It took quite a bit of book for Becky to see the light when Sage shows her true colors.
The only time I enjoyed the book was when Suze and Becky become extras in a new movie. You can, for a brief moment, see the spark return in Kinsella's writing in that chapter.
Three stars only because Suze and Tarquan save the day.

SHOPAHOLIC TO THE STARS, #7 in the Shopaholic Series, by the ever delightful Sophie Kinsella is a breath of fresh air. Of course with SHOPAHOLIC TO THE STARS being set in Los Angeles, there may also be a bit of smog and paparazzi to get through, but Kinsella forges ahead and triumphs again! As a Kinsella fan, I know when I want an easy, light, and fun chick-lit book, she won't disappoint. While not all of this series were quite up to par, I believe readers should take them with a grain of salt (perhaps rimmed around a chilled Margarita glass--this IS Hollywood after all!) and just enjoy a few hours for fun! If you are looking for serious narrative with great depth, you are in the wrong section of the bookstore!
In #7, Becky (Bloomwoood) Brandon joins hubby Luke and moves to LaLa Land with bitty dynamo daughter Minnie. Becky believes she is finally where she was always meant to be. Luke is handling the career of a famous actress, Sage Seymour, and Becky sees her chance to become part of the excitement. With her background in fashion, aka shopping, she feels it is her fate to become the personal stylist to the stars, and why not start with Sage Seymour? However, as fans will not be surprised, problems arise for Becky and she must decide if she can balance work and those she loves. Luke loves Becky but even he has his limits! And what about Becky's friends and family? Will they put up with one more fashion fiasco? With ever delightfully developed characters, Sophie Kinsella once more has brought her fans what they love--a novel with fun but also with heart.
