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.
