I keep thinking about how selfish Rebecca was being when she took the money from Luke for her "sick aunt." That is one thing that really bothers me about the main character is her selfishness. I hope that by the end of the book she will realize what she has been doing and will change. If she stops being selfish, then she wont be shopping all the time, and will hopefully be focusing more on her job.
One thing Rebecca should do is get a job that she is interested in. She could maybe write for a shopping magazine or a fashion magazine, instead of for a finance magazine. She will be happier, and be a lot more productive.

One book that I highly recommend would be Ruined by Paula Morris.In this story the main character, Rebecca, goes to New Orleans to stay with her aunt while her dad is on a business trip for a year. She has a really hard time making friends with all the stuck-up rich kids she has at school. Finally in the cemetery Rebecca meets a new friend named Lisette. Later Rebecca finds out that her friend is really a ghost. Rebecca find out many shocking secrets about her and Lisette, leading to many conflicts, and it goes deep into both of the girls pasts. I really enjoyed this book because there is always something shocking coming in almost every chapter. You never get bored with the book. Also, the book is spooky, but it isn't too scary so it's enjoyable.

Confessions of a Shopaholic Movie Trailer

I watched the movie trailer for Confessions of a Shopaholic. I was shocked by what Rebecca looked like. I imagined her with blonde hair. The person playing who I am pretty sure is Luke, isn't what I imagined either. I imagined him taller and with darker, shorter hair.

From what I have read so far, I can predict that Rebecca will start to date the man that gave her $20 named Luke, because I can tell that he is interested in her because he "coincidentally" was at the same spot she was. I wonder if it will work out because he is really into his work, and Rebecca is the complete opposite. I can also predict that if Rebecca starts dating Luke, that her shopping ways will stop, because Luke does not seem to be the person that would let her be stupid, and buy unnecessary things. That prediction then makes me question if Rebecca will be mad that she isn't allowed be a crazy shopaholic anymore, which will ruin the relationship.
A text-to-self connection I have with this book is that I like to shop a lot, like Rebecca. Not nearly as close as Rebecca is though, because that would be bad. A text-to-world connection is other shopaholics around the world. This article states that 1 out of 20 shopaholics' habits affect their careers, just like Rebecca. A text-to-text connection is with the book Twilight. Bella knows that loving Edward is not good for her, but she can't let him go, like Rebecca knows that shopping is not good for her, but she can't stop doing it.

Suze, Becky's flat mate is also a shopaholic. I wonder if Suze will want to change first or Becky. I predict Becky will first because Suze gets money from her parents still.

The setting of my book is in London, England. It was hard at first for me to get used to the money system like "twenty quid" instead of dollars. I also keep imagining the book being set in New York, because that is what I would call an archetypal setting for a shopping movie or book (for America at least).
A big setting is in the press conference areas. In there a lot of the people wear big name brand, expensive clothing. This makes Becky jealous and it makes her want to go out and buy more and more clothes to be like them, even if she doesn't have the money. I think that Becky shouldn't pay attention to what those people are wearing because they have better and higher paying jobs than her.

 
The main character in the book Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella is Rebecca or "Becky." From what I have read so far I have learned that Becky cares a lot more about herself and shopping than her job and other people. She is in a lot of dept from buying things she doesn't need and used someones money to buy a scarf for her when she said it was for her sick aunt. Also during the press conferences she goes to she doesn't pay attention, she just thinks about shopping and draws in her notebook. From how Becky has been acting I can predict that she will get into some trouble with her job since she knows nothing about finance, and doesn't care for it, get fired, and go into more dept. She will be a round character in the book.

Many people are "shopaholics" like Becky. Being addicted to shopping is actually a serious problem for a lot of people which puts them into a lot of debt. This article talks about the many "shopaholics" including a man that has spent over $600,000 on clothes in three years.
