SHOPAHOLIC TAKES MANHATTAN

Becky Bloomwood has it all. She's beautiful, stylish beyond belief, has an enviable job as a financial expert on a British television show, and is the girlfriend of a wealthy, handsome advertising executive. She has bought enough merchandise to cause her bank manager to write to her daily about her overdrafts, and now she's about to fly to New York to buy more and more. As she reads the story of Becky's addictive sprees in the world of designer fashion, Emily Gray is inseparable from the heroine. Her voice is lyrical, and she smiles as she speaks, adding just the right proportion of brightness to the piece. In staying wholly involved in the narrative, Gray makes all of Becky's gains and losses easier to bear. J.P. 2004 Audie Award Finalist
