Omtale fra forlaget
Julen nærmer seg, og Becky er tilbake fra USA for å bo i en sjarmerende engelsk landsby med familien sin. Livet er bra, spesielt nå som Becky tar seg tid til mindfulness hver dag til (selv om det egentlig bare betyr at hun lytte til en meditasjonsapp mens hun jakter gode tilbud på nettet). Becky elsker juletradisjoner: Besøk hos foreldrene, julesanger på repeat, moren som later som om hun har laget julepudding, og naboene drikker sherry iført grusomme julegensere. Men så kunngjør Beckys foreldre at de flytter til London og at julefeiringen må være hos Becky …

Becky is back with a hilarious bag of new Christmas related tricks!
Following her parents surprising move to Shoreditch, Becky is now hosting Christmas for family and friends and she is not exactly relaxed about it -or on top of everything. She has her very own take on Christmas shopping as well as life in general, which makes this a hilarious read. I must say she is impressively creative in the mad situations she gets into and never gives up no matter how bad it gets.
Even if she tries to be organized and do things early she keeps getting distracted, and leading up to Christmas Day she is pretty stressed out. Her guests seem demanding and ungrateful in the beginning of the story. They don’t exactly hold back on unreasonable expectations. Becky tries to do it all on her own, trying to make everybody happy, make all the guests’ special requests happen. I felt for her as she really does not assert herself. As the story progresses, they seem to get more understanding as to what pressure Becky feels being a first-time Christmas host.
I’m impressed by husband Luke. In all the craziness he keeps his cool and calms Becky down. Through a number of twists and turns and involving influential people’s help, Becky manages to secure the most magnificent Christmas present for him. The story also includes a touching idea for Christmas presents suitable for any age group or gender. I really enjoyed that.
Christmas Shopaholic is a great pre-christmas read for fans of Sophie Kinsella’s work or readers of the chick-lit genre.
My rating: 4 stars /5
