| Becky, the main character of this book is an eccentric "shopaholic", in every sense of the word. Her addiction to style and shopping is over-the-top entertaining. When Becky and Luke return to London from their 10-month, around the world honeymoon, Luke's previously barren flat is soon bombarded with a ridiculous amount of souvenirs, secretly purchased by Becky during their trip.
Upon their return home Becky is disappointed by the reception she receives from both her parents and her best friend. Her marriage doesn't seem that great either now that the honeymoon is over. Her spirits rise, however, when Becky learns of the existence of an unknown sister. It seems, though, that these sisters couldn't be more different. Jessica is a graduate student obsessed with rocks and living economically-things Becky just doesn't understand. In spite of this, when Becky's marriage takes a turn for the worse, she turns to Jessica, hoping to learn her frugal ways and become a better person. | ||
