Shopaholic Abroad

New York, New Wardrobe, Same Old Becky

Shopaholic Abroad (also published as Shopaholic Takes Manhattan) by bestselling author Sophie Kinsella, released by Black Swan in 2001, is a sparkling romantic comedy that follows everyone’s favourite retail-addict, Becky Bloomwood, as she takes on the Big Apple—credit cards in hand.

Life is looking up for Becky. Her boyfriend Luke is off to New York on business, and she's going with him. A new city means new adventures, new designer stores, and the irresistible lure of sample sales. Becky is certain she’s finally found her place in the fashion capital of the world.

But beneath the surface of Fifth Avenue glam, things are not quite as perfect as they seem. As her shopping habits spiral and her relationship is put to the test, Becky must decide what truly matters—and whether her love for labels is worth the price she might pay.

Full of hilarious escapades, fashion faux pas, and unexpected heart, Shopaholic Abroad is an irresistible follow-up that proves you can take the girl out of the boutique—but you can’t take the boutique out of the girl.

Charming, witty, and wonderfully relatable, this is Kinsella at her best—smart, funny, and fabulously fun.
