What this book is about
Becky Bloomwood is back from her extended honeymoon and discovers she has a half-sister named Jess — who is everything Becky is not: frugal, practical, organized, and baffled by shopping. As Becky tries to bond with a sister who doesn't understand her, her marriage hits its first bumps and Luke becomes distant. Sophie Kinsella's fourth Shopaholic novel uses the half-sister contrast to explore what Becky's warmth and generosity look like when the audience is someone genuinely unimpressed.
