Shopaholic & Baby

Becky's life is blooming! She's working at London's newest fashion store The Look, house-hunting with husband Luke (her secret wish is a Shoe Room)... and she's pregnant! She couldn't be more overjoyed - especially since discovering that shopping cures morning sickness.

Everything has got to be perfect for her baby: from the designer nursery...to the latest, coolest pram...to the celebrity, must-have obstetrician. But when the celebrity obstetrician turns out to be her husband Luke's glamorous, intellectual ex-girlfriend, Becky's perfect world starts to crumble. She's shopping for two...but are there three in her marriage?

Reviews

Kinsella's latest is a page-turner every bit as charming and absorbing as her previous Shopaholic instalments.

—— Daily Telegraph

Happily it's just like catching up with an old friend ... our favourite shopaholic is as entertaining as ever.

—— Heat

A delicious addition to the Shopaholic series.

—— Marie Claire

A great read ... expect to laugh. A lot.

—— Company

Hilarious - again!

—— OK magazine

A blooming great read.

—— Closer

Grimly, intelligently comic as if written by an Asian Joseph Heller

—— Daily Telegraph

If this rich stew of disparate ingredients puts you in mind of Salman Rushdie, you wouldn't be far from the truth. His work, along with that of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Joseph Heller, is a low-key but persistent influence

—— Sunday Times

An exciting, accomplished new literary voice

—— Irish Times

A very funny satire-cum-thriller

—— Sally Cousins , Sunday Telegraph Seven

Somewhere in mid-air between Waugh and Rushdie (with an shade of Catch 22 hovering near by) this tremendous novel makes a tragicomic weather all its own

—— Boyd Tonkin , The Independent

Justly Booker longlisted last year, this debut is a dazzling one-off

—— Hermione Eyre , The Observer

Provocative and comic debut.

—— The Times

A true touch of originality ... showcases a promising new talent.

—— Colin Waters , Sunday Herald

Dry, droll and insightful

—— The Independent

Bodice-ripping romp through the West

—— Times

Missy by Strong and memorable female characters throughout this enjoyable novel

—— http://meandmybigmouth.typepad.com/scottpack

Witty and effortlessly fluid. His books are laugh-out-loud funny

—— Arabella Weir

The funniest writer ever to put words to paper

—— Hugh Laurie

The greatest comic writer ever

—— Douglas Adams

P.G. Wodehouse wrote the best English comic novels of the century

—— Sebastian Faulks

Sublime comic genius

—— Ben Elton
