By Sophie Kinsella
10/10


This story is about a girl called Emma Corrigan meeting a stranger in a airplane. She had to do this audition and after the audition, she rode a plane. But she is scared of plane. Terribly scared.

She sat next to a guy. When the plane flew, she got so scared she started to shiver. When there was a announce that the plane was not in a good condition, and when the plane started shaking wildly, Emma got so scared that she went wild. Then she got affraid that maybe, she might die! She spilled all her secret to the guy next to her, thinking that he might be the last person to see alive.
She told that :

-When her colleague Artemis annoys her, she feeds her plant orange juice (Which is pretty much every day)
-She has a barbie bedspread
-She broke her boss's mug by accident and didn't tell him.
-Joined a book club but didn't read any books, and then lied to people that she read it.
-People thinks that she loves jazz because they saw her in a concert, but she actually can't stand jazz.
-She hates her cousin Kerry, because she always steals her parents' attention.
-Kerry didn't help out Emma when she needed help, and lied to Emma's parent that she DID help Emma.
-She accidently spilled juice on her boss's white expensive shirt, and acted like she didn't. So no one knows who did it

and lots more embarrassing things. Then after awhile of telling the stranger all about herself, the plane had landed. She got so embarrassed that she ran away, without an apology.
The next day when she got to her work, there was a big excitment!! People were waiting for he boss of the whole Panther cola company!

And guess what, it was the stranger from the PLANE...
She got so shocked that she ran away from him, and hid when she saw him near her.
Then finally they got a chance to meet, and solved their problem, promising each other to not tell the secret to anyone.

Then the problem came.

The stranger (Jack) betrayed Emma. He told the TV announcer every singel detail of emma's secret.
Emma got so furious. She yelled and screamed at him. Jack started to explain to Emma, that it was simply a mistake. And for a long time, Emma was mad at him. Then finally she gave up being mad, because she missed the olden days when they had fun together.

HAPPILY EVER AFTER

Shopaholic Takes Manhattan
By: Sophie Kinsella
9/10














This is a story about a girl called Rebecca Bloomwood, (Remember 'Confession of a shopaholic'?) using her VISA card so much that she gets cut off. But in the second book, she moves to Manhattan, a city in New York after she payed all her overdued bills. She worked as a Television announcer.

She worked hard for days, and days saving money. But one day, her boss was giving her so much pressure, she just lost control. She went to a very luxurious mall and bought every single thing she wanted. (Even a stuffed animal)

Then she started to regret everything she had done. Because there was a big problem. One of her enemy Alicia, had seen her shopping like crazy, and told the newspaper people about it. The newspaper went all over the world, saying mean stuffs to Becky.

Becky moved back to England and stayed with her friend Suze, who helped her problem out, making her more brave.

Becky finally had a courage to stand up to the people, and became another television finalist. It worked out pretty well untill she got fired after her boss found out that people were saying bad stuffs about her.

She was depressed for a long time, untill her friend Suze came and helped her out again. Becky tried hard to forget everything, hiding her pain from when people were pointing at her. She built her strength and fought over her embarrassment.

Then everyone got impressed by her bravery and effort on trying to act normal, and they rehired her.

Becky was also very impressed by herself and worked harder. Saving each penny into her bank account. Using her money wisely. Her problem was solved.

Untill another big problem had come back. She accidently lost her card. She quickly searched all around her office building. Everywhere. When she couldn't find it she was crying. She didn't want some stranger to use ALL her money she had saved for days and days.

After 12 days, she got called to the bank. They said that her money was overdued. $100,000 dollars. She flipped. She didn't have enough money to pay that. So she complained to the bank manegers to find, suspect the person.

Becky was anxious for a few several days. Until one night she had a call from the police that they caught the person.

It was Alicia...

Becky was so outraged that she fought with her. She came back to the police the next day. She calmly asked Alicia why she did that cruel thing.

Alicia told the truth that she was jealous. And Becky forgave her.

And everyone lived happily ever after ^-^

THE third book is called 'Shopaholic ties the knot! Which I have also finished reading a few days ago.
