共 "This expensive, glossy world is where I've been headed all along. Limos and flowers; waxed eyebrows and designer clothes from Barneys. These are my people; this is where I'm meant to be."
Becky Bloomwood Universally beloved by readers, Sophie Kinsella's national bestseller, Confessions of a Shopaholic, introduced the irrepressible one-woman shopping phenomenon, Becky Bloomwood. Now, in this hilarious follow-up, Becky and her credit cards are headed across the Atlantic....
With her shopping excesses (somewhat) in check and her career as a TV financial guru thriving, Becky's biggest problem seems to be tearing her entrepreneur boyfriend, Luke, away from work for a romantic country weekend. And worse, figuring out how to "pack light." But packing takes on a whole new meaning when Luke announces he's moving to New York for business-and he asks Becky to go with him!
Before you can say "Prada sample sale," Becky has landed in the Big Apple, home of Park Avenue penthouses and luxury department stores.
Surely it's only a matter of time until she becomes an American TV celebrity, and she and Luke are the toast of Gotham society. Nothing can stand in their way, especially with Becky's bills miles away in London.
But then an unexpected disaster threatens her career prospects, her relationship with Luke, and her available credit line! Shopaholic Takes Manhattan-but will she have to return it?

紐約，這個金錢打造、光鮮亮麗的世界，就是我命中註定要待的地方！
天啊，我真喜歡在國外購物。當然啦，在任何地方購物都是美好的，但在國外購物的好處是：
＊ 你可以買到英國沒有的東西。
＊ 你可以暗示別人你常跑國外。(「喔，這個啊，是我在紐約買的。」)
＊ 外國錢不算錢，所以你可以盡情地花。
好啦，好啦，我承認美金是一種有價值的貨幣，但是從英鎊到美金的環境中，你會覺得沒有花到真正的錢，而且我總是搞不清楚匯率到底是多少。
重點是，那個不重要。因為這裡是美國，大家都知道美國的東西便宜很多，這是普通常識。所以基本上，我依循的原則就是，「每樣東西都划算」！
