Synopsis :

Rebecca, or “Becky,” Bloomwood is a twenty-something woman

living in London, England, during the 1990s. A writer for Successful Saving
magazine, she hates the boring, monotonous articles she spins. She dreams
of writing for a glossy magazine or fashion websites, but escaping
Successful Saving feels like an impossibility.

To outsiders, Becky has everything she could want. She has a stunning
flat in a very posh part of London, she gets to write all day, and she has
countless friends who invite her to great parties. The problem is that these
people don’t know the truth about Becky. She is living a life she can’t
possibly afford. She has a major problem—she is a shopaholic.

The novel follows Becky as she tries to find herself among her friends
and tries to find herself in the busyness of everyday life. Becky finally is able
to find her space, realizing that pleasing others is less important than pleasing
herself first.
