  'Shopaholic' author buys into character | The San Diego Union-Tribune
Devotees have followed the slightly ditsy Becky and her credit cards through three books – "Confessions of a Shopaholic," "Shopaholic Takes Manhattan" and "Shopaholic Ties the Knot" – anecdotes of a single girl in London, her financial strife, the beginning of a romance, a sojourn in New York and an eventual marriage.
That's the central premise of the recently published "Shopaholic and Sister." The novel continues Kinsella's themes of secret-keeping and bluffing her way out of a tricky situation.
When she conceived the racier, first-person, present-tense style of the "Shopaholic" books, she decided a new pen name was appropriate and took on her middle name and her mother's maiden name.

The shopaholic books have become very popular, and are also best-selling novels many places in the world.

 Shopaholic - Sister.Shopaholic & Sister
Shopaholic & Sister review:4 stars (Another winner from Becky, and Kinsella) - This is my fourth book in the series, and I'm still enchanted by Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood).
And while the plot is based on something you'd never expect from her parents, the book itself turned out to be sweet and - I thought - better than the last installment in the series.
There's the familiar shopaholic storyline (she spends too munch, makes a mistake, tries to hide it, mistake blows up, but everything is happy in the end), but the journey to the end was fun.

Her 10-month globe-trot with hubby Luke was a shopping spree disguised as a honeymoon—heck, Becky will walk across hot coals for an aquamarine necklace (and thereby trick her Sri Lankan yogi into thinking she's achieved enlightenment)—but the problems of the real world (sort of) surface once the happy couple lands back in London.
You would think that after three Shopaholic books that Becky and her antics might get a little dull, but that is absolutely not the case.
Shopaholic and Sister is just as funny, witty and absorbing as Confessions of a Shopaholic.
