(Shopaholic Book 1)

The Secret Dreamworld Of A Shopaholic

Meet Rebecca Bloomwood. She's a financial journalist who spends all day writing articles on how to manage money wisely. Her own method of managing money is to hide her Visa bills under the bed and hope they'll disappear. 
Becky just can't stop shopping, whether it's stocking up on 3 for 2 offers, or buying an essential grey cardigan, or falling in lust with a pair of dreamy shoes. 
She knows she has to stop. Her bank manager is sending her sterner and sterner letters, her credit cards are being declined, her Mum and Dad have no idea . . . what is she going to do? 
Will Becky ever take control of her life, find love and regain the use of her credit card? 
The Shopaholic series begins with The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella.

Katie Brenner has the perfect life: a flat in London, a glamorous job, and a super-cool Instagram feed. 
 
OK, so the truth is that she rents a tiny room with no space for a wardrobe, has a hideous commute to a lowly admin job, and the life she shares on Instagram isn't really hers. 
 
But one day her dreams are bound to come true, aren't they? 
 
Until her not-so-perfect life comes crashing down when her mega-successful boss Demeter gives her the sack. All Katie's hopes are shattered. She has to move home to Somerset, where she helps her dad with his new glamping business. 
 
Then Demeter and her family book in for a holiday, and Katie sees her chance. But should she get revenge on the woman who ruined her dreams - or try to get her job back? Does Demeter - the woman who has everything - actually have such an idyllic life herself? Maybe they have more in common than it seems. 
 
And what's wrong with not-so-perfect, anyway?

Emma is like every girl in the world. She has a few little secrets. 
 
Secrets from her mother: 
1. I lost my virginity in the spare bedroom to Danny Nussbaum while Mum and Dad were downstairs watching TV. 
 
… From her boyfriend: 
2. I’m a size twelve. Not a size eight, like Connor thinks. 
3. I’ve always thought Connor looks a bit like Ken. As in Barbie and Ken. 
 
… From her colleagues: 
4. When Artemis really annoys me (which is pretty much every day), I feed her plant orange juice. 
5. It was me who jammed the copier that time. In fact, all the times. 
 
…Secrets she wouldn’t share with anyone in the world: 
6. My G string is hurting me. 
7. I faked my Maths GCSE grade on my CV. 
8. I have no idea what NATO stands for. Or even what it is… 
 
…until she spills them all to a handsome stranger on a plane. After all, she’ll never see him again. 
 
But on Monday morning, Emma’s office is abuzz about the arrival of Jack Harper, the company’s elusive CEO. Suddenly Emma is face-to-face with the stranger from the plane, a man who knows every single humiliating detail about her. 
 
Things couldn’t possibly get worse... Until they do.

The hilarious romantic comedy from NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR Sophie Kinsella, with a foreword from Daisy Buchanan 
 
Samantha thrives under pressure. A high-powered London lawyer, all she can concentrate on is taking the next step in her career; eating, sleeping, seeing friends – even taking a breath – will have to wait. 
 
But just when she’s about to get everything she has ever wanted, Samantha makes a mistake. A fifty-million-pound, career-destroying mistake. Unable to face the consequences, she does the unimaginable and runs away… 
 
Catching the first train she can, she finds herself in the countryside, outside a beautiful grand house. Mistaken for another woman, she falls into a new job as the family’s housekeeper. 
 
Disaster ensues. In a blink, her life has shifted from writing briefs to washing them – and she has no idea how to work the washing machine. Let alone the oven. A former master of the takeaway menu, she’s now expected to whip up fine cuisine. 
 
But gradually, she falls in love with her new life in a wholly unexpected way. Will her employers ever discover the truth? Will Samantha's old life ever catch up with her? And if it does...will she want it back?

*********** 
 
Discover the joy that awaits when you set yourself free... 
 
Sasha is well and truly over it all: work (all-consuming), friendships (on the back burner), sex-life (non-existent). 
Armed with good intentions to drink kale smoothies, try yoga and find solitude, she heads to the Devon resort she loved as a child. But it's off-season, the hotel is falling apart and she has to share the beach with a grumpy, stressed-out guy called Finn. 
 
How can she commune with nature when he's sitting on a rock, watching her suspiciously? Especially when they don't agree on burnout cures. (Sasha: manifesting, wild swimming, secret Mars bars; Finn: drinking whisky.) 
 
But when curious messages start appearing on the beach, Sasha and Finn are forced to begin talking – about everything. What's the mystery? Why are they both burned out? And what exactly is 'manifesting', anyway? 
They might discover that they have more in common than they think. . .

Becky is hosting Christmas for the first time... what could possibly go wrong? The brilliant laugh-out-loud festive novel from the Number One bestselling author. 
 
Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) adores Christmas. It's always the same – Mum and Dad hosting, carols playing, Mum pretending she made the Christmas pudding, and the next-door neighbours coming round for sherry in their terrible festive jumpers. 
 
And now it's even easier with online bargain-shopping sites – if you spend enough you even get free delivery. Sorted! 
 
But this year looks set to be different. Unable to resist the draw of craft beer and smashed avocado, Becky's parents are moving to ultra-trendy Shoreditch and have asked Becky if she'll host Christmas this year. What could possibly go wrong? 
 
With sister Jess demanding a vegan turkey, husband Luke determined that he just wants aftershave again, and little Minnie insisting on a very specific picnic hamper – surely Becky can manage all this, as well as the surprise appearance of an old boyfriend and his pushy new girlfriend, whose motives are far from clear . . . 
 
Will chaos ensue, or will Becky manage to bring comfort and joy to Christmas?

Becky has never been more excited. Finally, a real sister! They'll have so much in common! They can go shopping together... choose shoes together... have manicures together... 
 
Until she meets her - and gets the shock of her life. It can't be true. Surely Becky Bloomwood's long-lost sister can't... hate shopping?

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER! 
 
'Only Sophie Kinsella can make you laugh like this while she's got you crying . . . This is one of the gutsiest moves I've seen from a writer in a long time. I could not put it down.' TAYLOR JENKINS REID

------------------ 
 
From Number One bestselling author Sophie Kinsella, an unforgettable story – by turns heartbreaking and life-affirming – of a renowned novelist facing a devastating diagnosis and learning to live and love anew. 
 
‘What Does It Feel Like? is fiction, but it is my most autobiographical work to date. Eve’s story is my story.’ — SOPHIE KINSELLA 
 
Eve is a successful novelist who wakes up one day in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there. Her husband, never far from her side, explains that she has had an operation to remove the large, malignant tumour growing in her brain. 
 
As Eve learns to walk, talk, and write again — and as she wrestles with her diagnosis, and how and when to explain it to her beloved children — she begins to recall what’s most important to her: long walks with her husband’s hand clasped firmly around her own, family game nights and always buying that dress when she sees it. 
 
Recounted in brief anecdotes, each one is an attempt to answer the type of impossible questions recognizable to anyone navigating the labyrinth of grief. This extraordinary novella is a celebration of life, shot through with warmth and humour – it will both break your heart and put it back together again. 
 
‘Why did I write such a personal book? I have always processed my life through writing. Hiding behind my fictional characters, I have always turned my own life into a narrative. It is my version of therapy, maybe. Writing is my happy place, and writing this book, although tough going at times, was immensely satisfying and therapeutic for me.’ – SOPHIE KINSELLA 
 
------------------ 
 
'I was gripped and moved and I loved every word.' LISA JEWELL 
 
'A beautiful love story and a glowing beacon of hope.' JENNY COLGAN 
 
'Heartbreaking yet hopeful, this life-affirming read encourages us all to take life by the horns.' Prima 
 
'Of all the books I have read about living with cancer this is by far the best. Beautifully written, profound and deeply moving.' HENRY MARSH
