To Las Vegas...and beyond! Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) is on a major rescue mission! Hollywood was full of surprises, and now she's on a road trip to Las Vegas to help her friends and family. She's determined to get to the bottom of why her dad has mysteriously disappeared, help her best friend Suze and even bond with long-time enemy Alicia Bitch Long-legs (maybe...). As Becky discovers just how much her friends and family need help, she comes up with her biggest, boldest, most brilliant plan yet! So can she save the day just when they need her most? Becky is setting out to make things right in this laugh-out-loud, feel-good conclusion to her American adventure that began with Shopaholic To The Stars.
I love Kinsella. Is this Kinsella at her best? No, but it was still funny, charming, and I enjoyed reading more of Becky's misadventures. Becky is no longer a shopaholic, her marriage is stable, her child has been tamed, but Kinsella still have tales to tell. This one picks up with the gang traveling via RV in an attempt to find Tarkie and Graham.
Plus, how can you go on an American road trip and not get an RV? Exactly.
This was a fun and light story of friendship. The last part, where they all bond together on their "mission" was the culmination of the story and it showed what a great group of people Becky has in her life. I would be remiss if I did not mention how much I enjoyed the mutton-bustin'. So funny.
"Young lady, you must be very lucky in your friends," he says. "Or maybe they're lucky in you." "I'm very lucky in my friends," I say at once.
