Christmas Shopaholic

Merry Christmas!! But to be honest, I struggled with the first 3/4 of this book. I'm too much of a scrooge to appreciate Becky's impulsive decisions and her distant relationship with logic. I think if I had read any of the prior Shopaholic books, I would maybe have been more endeared to her. It took until almost the end to feel the sprygge. I think there were a few elements that could have been edited out. The bauble, the ex and his rude gf, the hipster parents and their beef with their bestie, the emo vegan sister, the “hamper,” the billiards club and portmanteau, the costume, the statues, and the gingerbread houses were just a lot. I will say that it was memorable because of how ridiculous everything was. I liked it overall, but I don't think I ever need to read another Shopaholic book.
