Shopping, debt, and a story worth pursuing

Becky Bloomwood’s life in London is built around glamorous friends, fashionable clothes, and purchases she cannot afford. Her job at a savings magazine offers little interest or income, while increasingly alarming bank letters press in. Shopping provides temporary comfort, but efforts to rein in spending repeatedly fail. When Becky encounters a story that captures her attention, her work begins to intersect with the financial trouble she has been avoiding. The setup brings consumer spending and personal debt into a humorous-fiction premise, with Becky’s reporting providing a second thread alongside her shopping habits.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who enjoy humorous fiction about everyday financial predicaments
  • Those interested in stories about shopping, debt, and work-life complications
  • Readers looking for a contemporary London setting and a central character navigating social and financial pressures

Book overview

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Party Crasher and Love Your Life comes "a hilarious tale [with] hijinks worthy of classic I Love Lucy episodes . . . too good to pass up" (USA Today).

"Sophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter."--Jojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover

Becky Bloomwood has a fabulous flat in London's trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite friends, and a closet brimming with the season's must-haves. The only trouble is, she can't actually afford it--not any of it. Her job writing at Successful Saving magazine not only bores her to tears, it doesn't pay much at all. And lately Becky's been chased by dismal letters from the bank--letters with large red sums she can't bear to read. She tries cutting back. But none of her efforts succeeds. Her only consolation is to buy herself something . . . just a little something.

Finally a story arises that Becky actually cares about, and her front-page article catalyzes a chain of events that will transform her life--and the lives of those around her--forever.
