Thanks for replying. I have read ALL books of Sophie KInsella except the ones written as Madelline Wickham.
I would always be partial in my opinion when it comes to recommending something by Kinsella. All I can say is you would not regret reading them. Other parts also contain Becky's lively attitude towards life and Luke's love for becky. In spite of being a series each part is unique from the other.

I agree with "at times it is all one needs". This exactly describes my attachment with this series. They have made me more relax, carefree and I no more hesitate in expressing myself. I have learned to love myself to no limits after reading Shopaholic series and Can you keep a secret.

I did occasionally get annoyed at the protagonist for not thinking things through all the way, but in the end, I have to say I admired her spunk and determination. And I would definitely recommend the others, especially as books to read on a plane. They'll get you through the flight quite nicely.
Oh I feel one should read at least one book by Kinsella in their lifetime. Yes at times Becky gets too unreasonable especially I do not approve of her hiding things from Luke. He is one perfect man and I don't think anyone else can become like him when it comes to supporting and loving your other half in all situations. My love doubled for Luke in Shopaholic and the sister.

Each book is enjoyable on its own but the series allows the reader to follow the adventures of Becky Bloomwood as she experiences adulthood, marriage, children and other unexpected family events. Becky is relatable as the "heroine" of the series and the books make for an easy read for any seasoned reader who wants to laugh and put life's problems aside for awhile.
Very well described. I feel there's a little becky in every girl, some choose to let it free some don't.
