All of us have been Becky Bloomwood at one time or another in our lives. We might have hidden our credit card bills so we didn’t have to face up to them or stocked up on expensive beauty products because we couldn’t resist a three-for-two offer.

So all of us Becky Bloomwoods will be thrilled to find out the heroine is coming back, as author Sophie Kinsella has written a new novel featuring everyone’s favourite shopaholic.

Bloomwood began life in The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic, which focused on her adventures as a financial journalist who ironically couldn’t keep track of her own finances because of her love for shopping.
