This light read is one I almost wanted to put behind a plain brown wrapper. However, there is "something" quite engaging about the Lucille Ball antics of the main character.

Confessions is by far one of my favorite books. Becky Bloomwood is the most comical, insanely hilarious characters ever written. I literally read this book in one night..then I immediately rushed out and bought the rest of the sequels. Normally I'm very skeptical about sequels, but Sophie Kinsella is very true to Becky and doesn't disappoint!! I've raved about this book to all my friends..you won't want to miss the exciting dilemma's a credit card can cause!!!
What a hoot to read!

This book had me in stitches laughing throughout the chapters. It was light, breezy, and hillarious. The main character is so outlandish, but adorable to the point where you can't help but root for her. I highly recommend this book if you want something non-thought provoking, easy to read, and quick to read.
chick lit to inspire...

I must admit that I've owned this book for almost a year and couldn't complete it. I was kind of over the whole "chick lit" trend. I'd been sick of reading about magazines, fashion, coffee, city apartments, etc. but Kinsella did something that no other chick lit writer has done for me---she had me LMAO literally on the train! About 50 pages into it, Rebecca Bloomwood became my heroine. We ALL suffer from addictions and bad habits...but somehow with this novel, tbey become slightly funny...then irritating...and I have to say that I finished this novel with the motivation to clear up my debts and live a stress-free and fun life.

I can't really say anything that has already been said...but I'd recommend it to my girls. you will walk away from this novel believing that there is nothing you can't accomplish as long as you just FACE YOUR CHALLENGES headstrong.

P.S. and even though I said I'm through with chick lit, I just may continue the series when I get the urge. in fact...I WILL be continuing the series!
