Becky is now sharing an apartment and a bank account with Luke in NYC. She can finally manage with the money she has to satisfy her inner shopper. She has a fashion designer living next door, a perfect job as a personal shopper in Barneys, happy with her life of shopping and hiding the bills from Luke. The only problem she now has is Elinor, Luke's mom.
Suze is about to get married to Tarquin. Danny’s right, it’s kind of gross b/c they’re cousins. At the wedding, in which Becky is the maid of honor, Luke and Suze tricked Becky to catch the traditional bridal bouquet, and along with the bouquet is a note from Luke asking Becky to marry him. Her world suddenly changes when Luke proposes to her at Suze's wedding. Man, why can’t I have a best friend like Suze? She’s the only one that can really knock some sense into Becky. I thought it was sweet how she spill coffee on Becky’s mother wedding dress, so Becky doesn’t have to wear something so ridiculous!
Becky's mother wants her to get married back in England w/ friends and family; while Luke's overbearing mother wants an all-out, no expenses spared, fairy tale wedding at the Plaza. Since she can’t say no to both, Becky’s hides the truth that she is having 2 weddings on same day on different continents. She needs to pick one and when she decides she wants the London wedding w/ people she knows, she tries to back out of the New York wedding but she would be sue $100,000 by the wedding planner. If she backs out of the London wedding, it would break her family’s heart? What should she do? Who can she tells without them getting mad at her?
I thought the novel was a bit long and stretched out w/ the wedding dilemmas-whether to have wedding in London or New York. I assume that Becky would know more about planning a wedding after all she is a shopaholic, but she leaves all the planning to her mom and the wedding planner. This was my least favorite in the series; Sophie should have extended the ending a bit longer. I liked the last few chapters because it was sweet! You see a different side of Luke that makes you feel bad for the poor boy. Luke is a lucky guy to have found somebody as interesting as Becky or was it vice versa. Haha.. Ok Becky is not the brightest girl, but this silly warmed hearted character that tends to always get in trouble from her shopping habits and her warm-less white lies will grow on you! So does the other characters, especially charming Luke. Now I can finally read “Shopaholic and baby.” Yay! I hope that’s not the last book.
Fave parts:Luke and Becky have a joint account for their hold house expenses. The bank refuses Becky’s suggestions of neither changing a purchase on the bank statement from “Prada New York” to Gas Station nor splitting the statement in half, so Luke wouldn’t find out. Luke and Becky argue whether a MuMu skirt really a household expense? Funny how Becky’s mom thinks her daughter is pregnant. Also, how Becky’s tries to named her child after famous designers- How lame can one get. =)
