Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) is in Hollywood! It's as if all her life has been leading to this moment. She's hanging out with the stars … or at least she will be, when she finally gets to meet movie superstar Sage Seymour, whom husband Luke is now managing.
There's so much to see and do! And getting Minnie through the hurdles for her A-list Hollywood pre-school will require some…er…help.
Becky sets her heart on a new career — she's going to be a celebrity stylist. Red carpet, here she comes! But Becky soon finds it's tough in Tinseltown. Luckily her best friend Suze comes over to keep her company, and together they embark on the Hollywood insider trail. But somehow…things aren't quite working out as they’d hoped.
Then Becky's big chance comes, and it's an opportunity that money can't buy. But will it cost her too much?
### Review
“A witty novel with the twists of a soap and the laughs of a rom-com.”**—*InTouch***
*** ***
“Shopaholic Becky is funnier than ever as she tries to make it in Hollywood as a celeb stylist.”**—*People***
*** ***
“Our beloved heroine Becky hilariously juggles motherhood and a new career. … Sophie Kinsella is such a genius.”**—*Redbook***
*** ***
“It’s impossible not to fall in love with Becky and her antics, and this latest offering doesn’t disappoint. With appeal for fans of Kinsella’s prior Shopaholic books, this one will draw in new fans as well. Like the first six in the series, [*Shopaholic to the Stars*] is screamingly funny and lots of fun.”**—*Publishers Weekly *(starred review)**
** **
“Fans of the series who love Becky just as she is (and has always been) will enjoy this seventh series entry. … Kinsella expertly plots this story and deftly drops in some unexpected twists.”**—*Library Journal***
*** ***
“Becky is a truly engaging narrator. She may be self-centered, a shopping addict and a bit flighty, but she’s also good-natured and genuinely funny. It’s a joy to accompany her on her journey, no matter how tangled it seems at times. A light, enjoyable read that’s pure escapism.”**—*Kirkus Reviews***
*** ***
“Winsome Becky’s romp through Hollywood will thoroughly entertain readers, and the novel’s conclusion neatly paves the way for Becky’s next adventure.”**—*Booklist***
*** ***
“Loyal fans who have enjoyed Kinsella’s flakey protagonist in previous stories will enjoy this outing.”**—Fredericksburg* Free Lance–Star***
*** ***
“Kinsella fans will be ecstatic for this long-awaited addition to the author’s Shopaholic series. Lighthearted, warm, funny—Kinsella rules the red carpet with Becky’s new Hollywood adventures. A little unsolved mystery at the end may cause the paparazzi to swarm Becky’s home and leave readers wanting more.”**—*RT Book Reviews***

Quotes

  • Monika Rizkahas quoted4 years ago
    In short, I think it unlikely that your mother-in-law is related to Darth Vader.
  • Monika Rizkahas quoted4 years ago
    That is totally a Darth Vader thing to say.
  • Monika Rizkahas quoted4 years ago
    ‘Try repeating this after me.’ I lean forward. ‘“Luke, my love, if we can just spend some time together—”’ I break off at Elinor’s rigid expression. I can see she isn’t going to go for ‘Luke, my love’. ‘All right, let’s try it a different way. You could say, “Luke, my angel …” Her face grows yet more rigid. ‘“Luke, my sweetheart … my darling—”’ I break off. ‘OK, what would you say?’

    ‘Luke, my son,’ says Elinor.

    ‘You sound like Darth Vader,’ I say bluntly. Elinor doesn’t even flinch.
