This free eBook short story fills in the gaps of Sophie Kinsella’s bestselling Shopaholic series, following Becky Brandon and her husband, Luke, as they start their luxurious yearlong honeymoon around the world. But these jet-setters are about to hit some turbulence.
 
Becky and Luke are in Venice—the city of winding canals, gorgeous historic buildings, and, of course, exceptional shopping. To unwind from the stress of their wedding, Becky has planned an utterly blissful honeymoon where, for an entire year, they will hop from one country to the next—Italy to the Czech Republic to Sri Lanka and beyond—as they please. But lately, Luke has been more restless than relaxed. In fact, he seems (unbelievably!) like he wants to go home. Will Becky be able to save their dream vacation, or will their globe-trotting come to a sudden halt?

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good, Light Short Story about Everyone's Favorite Shopaholic!
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2016

While I was in college, I discovered the Shopaholic series and started devouring them because they are sweet and funny chick lit books that gave me a break from studying. I read a number of the Shopaholic books before I moved on to other genres; however, I will always remember that these books were some of the first ones that got me interested in chick lit! I saw this short story and, since it was free, I decided to download it.

Shopaholic on Honeymoon is a very short story (it will take you less than 30 minutes to read) that describes some of the adventures that Becky Brandon and her new husband Luke undergo as newlyweds. They are traveling the world and in this particular story they are in Venice, Italy. It's just a light, sweet story that is mostly about Becky wanting to shop (shocker!).

There really isn't much to the story but if you enjoyed the Shopaholic series and want something short and free to read, I'd recommend reading this. It's just light, fun fluff about everyone's favorite shopaholic!

3.0 out of 5 stars No more Shopaholic after the conclusion of this short story, please!

I've been a big fan of Sophie Kinsella since my avid reading niece handed me my first read by her, Remember Me? I naturally read others, and then got into the Shopaholic series, which began great. Now, like Janet Evanovich, I feel it's time to retire all the characters. I enjoyed the writing in Shopaholic on Honeymoon, but even as Kinsella gave readers a first hand took at the background of Becky and Luke, I felt disappointed.
There is no happy honeymoon as Becky never relaxes and Luke gets upset by her idea that a year 'off' work would help their marriage. Becky has always managed to explain reason she buy so many things, but in this short, we see once again, she is addicted, and it's no longer fun.
I thought how awful my life would be if I were buying and trying to legitimize each purchase, especially those insane, useless items. How does her brain rest at night? How will Luke react every time she brings home more shopping bags, or sneaks in ridiculous items and endeavors to rationalize why they need them.
Truth is, Becky cannot be happy without buying things. No one can take as many classes as she pays for, so this in itself is becoming ludicrous.
Even wealthy men will get tired of foolish purchases and realize the wife's habit is unhealthy - unless they are not truly in love, and don't really care about the wife. Becky still can't get NO SATISFACTION, so I'd say there is something wrong.
Hopefully Kinsella will allow the shopping to destroy the marriage, and send Becky into therapy and spin a yarn about people who deal with such serious issues. I'd really rather read about a humorous psychologist who has a charming variety of patients, instead of watching Becky try to buy the world, without having a great location to put it.
Kinsella is a wonderful author, and this theme has made her a fortune, but I do hope she ends the silly shopping once and for all. I know she has some better stories inside, and gives readers more of her original rookie author stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Short Addition to Shopaholic Series
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2016

"Shopaholic on Honeymoon" is a fun free little short about the beginning of Becky and Luke's honeymoon and totally worth reading if you're a fan of the "Shopaholic" series. Like the rest of the series, it's lighthearted and seemingly frivolous--Becky goes on a shopping spree while in Venice, surprise surprise!--but, again like the rest of the series, it actually touches on deeper themes that will resonant with lots of people starting out on a relationship, whether romantic or otherwise. Becky and Luke are in love, but they're also different people, and the real story here is how much they can/should change each other and/or change for each other. This kind of "chick lit" is often sorely underrated in its ability to deal with these kinds of questions, in my opinion, and criticized for its obsession with money and sex. But the thing is, money and sex are super important, especially in intimate relationships, and these kinds of books are where they're interrogated in depth. Which is a long-winded way of saying that this is a charming little addition to a series that is highly worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth Reading
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2015

I read all the reviews before reading this short story and did agree that Becky is a bit much and so is Luke. I stopped reading the series as soon as she had the baby. It was getting on my nerves. But when I saw this short story was free I thought, why not. And I enjoyed it except that she seemed more demanding and selfish than usual and Luke was too weak and gave in to her much more than usual. However, in spite of this, I found myself wishing that this story had been a book, full of the various places they were headed after Venice just to see what she bought and how she justified it all! Worth reading for the fun of it. As usual with a Kindle book, you never know exactly when a book will end, and it comes as a shock to tap on a page and find there isn't any more!
