Shopaholic on Honeymoon (Short Story)

by Sophie Kinsella

As readers of the Shopaholic series will know, I have never described Becky and Luke's honeymoon, which happens after they get married in Shopaholic Ties the Knot. So as a free update for Shopaholic fans, I have decided to share with you one of the adventures of the newly-wed Becky and Luke. I hope you enjoy it! Love Sophie x

The new Mr and Mrs Brandon are on honeymoon, and Becky has big plans! They’ve got a whole year to explore Venice, learn yoga in India, sleep in little wooden huts in South America… maybe even see penguins in the Antarctic. And of course they’ll need to buy just a few essential souvenirs along the way (everyone needs a set of Murano glass goblets, after all).

They’re not just tourists, they’re travellers. Becky is sure it is just the thing that Luke needs – time to unwind. He’ll come back a changed man… with all the good bits still intact of course.

But it soon becomes clear that Luke has different plans entirely. Can Becky help him let go, or will this little disagreement threaten their whole honeymoon?

Okay, so this didn't really bring anything new, but it was a somewhat fun story about Becky in Italy. We learned how she found all these new things that she just had to have and therefor she had to make excuses for them, and make up new interests like art.
I didn't really get their fight, I mean, they're newly weds, and he knew what he was going into before marrying her, so I found that to be a bit over the edge. Who would've known he was an artist btw? That was news to me! It's possible that I might just have forgotten it though.

I was a bit disappointed that we only got to see one place that they were travelling to, I would've liked to see more.

It was an okay book for the 30-something pages that it is, but not more than that, and the series cn be easily read without this one. It's a good read for a summerday when you can't make up your mind.

Loved this - a cute, short story about Becky and Luke's honeymoon. Is it wrong I now want the whole book?!? Please, Sophie, write their whole honeymoon!

This is a cute little short story about an incident that took place during Luke and Becky's honeymoon. It's classic Shopaholic fare, focusing on Becky's love of shopping and her habit of getting into bizarre predicaments.

While it doesn't add anything new to the series, it's a quick read that fans of Sophie Kinsella will enjoy.
