Christmas Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella - 4 Stars

 This book in the series has Becky Bloomwood enjoying the quiet life in Leatherby and working for her best friend, Suze. It's Christmas time and Becky is looking forward to the food, carols, and more. But this year, Becky has been asked by her parents to host the Christmas festivities.
Becky is sure that she can handle it and thinks nothing can go wrong. But the next thing she knows things are NOT going as planned. Her sister wants a vegan turkey, her husband only wants after shave for his gift, and her daughter, Minnie, is asking for something very specific. To top it off, Becky runs into her ex-(rock star) boyfriend and his pushy new girlfriend, who seems to be up to something.
Of course Becky gets into all kinds of hilarious situations along the way and she begins to wonder if she'll be able to pull off hosting Christmas and make everyone happy.

So I'm reading this a little late (or really early), but I was looking for something light and fluffy after the first 2 books I had read this year. I know not a lot of people like the Shopaholic books, or even chic lit for that matter, but I have absolutely loved this series.
The things that Becky gets into may be far fetched but are always good for a laugh.
