Review of 'Confessions of a Shopaholic (Shopaholic, #1)' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

I only picked up this book because I was about to get on an airplane, had finished all my other reading, and the airport shop's selection was dismally small. Easy to read and it requires absolutely no concentration whatsoever; those are about the only good things I can say about the book.

The author seems to be trying to follow the cinderella story formula where poor suffering heroine is rewarded and lives happily ever after. The problem with this is that the heroine is irritating, shallow, and selfish, and fully deserves all the bad things that are happening to her and certainly does absolutely nothing to deserve the extremely improbable happy ever ending. I can't believe there were multiple sequels written to this book; I would have to be trapped in an airport without any other reading options before I would even consider spending money on any more of them.
