“This was total froth which was just what I was in the mood for. I'd read "Shopaholic" and "Shopaholic Takes Manhattan", so knew pretty much what to expect. A twist, though: I "read" this one on CD, listening to it at bedtime instead of reading. It was fun, due in very large part to the skilled narrator who changed her voice just a little bit for each character without it being embarrassingly forced on her part and who read the part of Samantha (since the story is told in first person) with the same inflection I believe I would have heard in my head had I read it on paper. I found myself looking forward to each evening's chapters. It's contrived, yes, shallow, yes, but also FUN, yes.”
