Something titled "Confessions of a Shopaholic" should really be much more interesting in my opinion, especially since I've read something else by the author that I consider really, really good. Unfortunately, it sucks. God, you'd think since shopping is so much fun READING about it would be, but no, it is all wrong. This whole book is some stupid little girl in a woman's body complaining about all of her debts and how she just can't survive without ten bottles of the same facial moisturizer! HOW DID THIS GET PUBLISHED? I mean maybe eventually something awesome happens, like the really hot guy she's lusting after ends up being in the mob and they have to go save his boyfriend who's been kidnapped by deadly vampire pirates and the only weapon left to them is their credit card, but personally, I don't see this occuring after page 195. Rargh.
It's also completely predictable. I HATE PREDICTABILITY! Unless it's Legally Blonde, or Romeo and Juliet, or something, but those are CLASSICS!
It's not entirely my fault I'm reading this. I was supposed to be reading Petals on the Wind the sequel to Flowers in the Attic which was amazing, but no, my library is crap. I swear they only restock once the boredom drives everyone mad and they've got dictionaries being aimed at their heads.
Anywho, that's my day. I wrote 2 pages for my story. I am a failure.
