In The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic, Sophie Kinsella introduces her readers to the protagonist of the shopaholic series, Rebecca Bloomwood. Becky has what most twenty-five-year olds dream of – a plush apartment in a trendy and buzzing neighborhood in London, glamorous socialite friends and a closet packed with all the season’s must-haves. But the only problem is she can’t afford any of this! Her job writing for Successful Savings magazine not only pays her peanuts but also bores her to death. Still, how can she possibly resist from buying the perfect pair of shoes she just came across? All her credit cards are maxed out and she has been receiving dismal letters from Visa and the Endwich Bank. No matter how much she tries cutting back, her only consolation is buying something for herself! Will Becky be able to pull herself out of this mess and start all over again?
