Review # 1 was written on 2010-10-09 00:00:00 Stephen Thurston Becky Brandon(nee Bloomwood)got on my very last nerve in this book. She seems so selfish, so self-involved that I had trouble liking her and since the book is from her viewpoint I need to like her, at least a little bit. She lies to everyone,from her husband to her parents to her child's nanny to the administrator of her friend's child's school(although that lie was actually done to be kind). I started to wonder if she was even capable of telling the truth or whether she even knew what the truth was. Her insane notion that her husband would send her child far away to a boot camp when he's already told her he wouldn't do that just really irritated me. And speaking of her husband, he is almost non-existent in this book until the final chapters. I missed him as he is a great counter-balance to the flippety Becky. He needs to be there more than he was in this book. I keep hoping that Becky will begin to grow up and realize she simply can't have everything she wants, even if she can find some scheme to make it happen. I want her to see that at some point and let go of her nonsense and her rooms full of clothing and accessories. I want her to embrace her family and friends with the same passion that she does her stuff. Oh well, maybe next time.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-02-06 00:00:00 Brian Cruce Same old Becky. Same old lies. Throw in an obnoxious 2 year old to the mix and we have cracked the plot of Mini Shopaholic! Agreed, I've had fun reading about Becky Brandon née Bloomwood, her penchant for getting into unfathomable troubles and the way she weasles out of it like a pro. It has been a guilty pleasure of mine for quite some time. But this book was testing my limits. People like Becky should be banned from raising kids. Minnie was bratty and extremely annoying for someone with a very limited vocabulary. Mother and daughter alternatively got on my nerves and I couldn't take it anymore. I JUST COULDN'T.
