The reason why I liked the story is because I can sort of relate to it. Personally, I like to shop too but not in the way of Becky Bloomwood.

*Spoiler* Starts off, Rebecca (Becky) Bloomwood is a lady who lives in a flat in London with her friend Suze. She has this problem with her urge to buy something, her shopaholicism. On the other hand, she is unhappy with her job at a gardening magazine because she thinks the pay is not good enough. While she wants to work for a fashion magazine, she ends up working at a finance magazine instead. Then, working at the finance magazine, she is not happy and the pay is still not good enough. Her boss at the magazine, Luke Brandon, then catches her eye. She connects with him but he doesn't know that she has this problem with controlling her money. Meanwhile, she tries everything to get herself out of debt, soon, either by making more money or saving more money. Also, she has this dreaded debt collector named Derek Smeath following her around like a stalker and eventually...revealing all. And then she goes on a talk show and becomes successful.

The book is interesting and the character, Becky, is funny at times. Read it.
