Introduction to "Confessions of a Shopaholic" by Sophie Kinsella




Author - Sophie Kinsella
Publisher – Bantam Dell Publishing Company
Copyright Date – February 2001
Number of pages – 312


Rebecca Bloomfield is a financial journalist who spends her working life helping others manage their money. She has what most people can dream about: a stunning flat and a closet full of the current must haves. The only problem is she can't afford it – not anything

The money she earns in her job barely pays her rent, let alone her monthly Visa minimum. Still, how can she resist that perfect pair of shoes? Or that designer scarf that's 50% off?

Meanwhile, credit card companies and bank managers hound her like vultures, and the letters are getting harder to ignore. Becky tries cutting back on her spending and she even tries making more money, but nothing seems to work. Her only outlet is to buy herself something . . . just a little something... and the cycle continues.

Finally, Becky reads a story that resonates with her, and she writes a front-page article that appears in a well-read newspaper which catalyzes a chain of events that will transform her life and the lives of those around her forever.
