Summary
Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) is in Hollywood! It's as if all her life has been leading to this moment. She's hanging out with the stars…or at least she will be, when she finally gets to meet movie superstar Sage Seymour, whom husband Luke is now managing.
There's so much to see and do! And getting Minnie through the hurdles for her A-list Hollywood pre-school will require some…er…help.
Becky sets her heart on a new career - she's going to be a celebrity stylist. Red carpet, here she comes! But Becky soon finds it's tough in Tinseltown.
Luckily her best friend, Suze, comes over to keep her company, and together they embark on the Hollywood insider trail. But somehow...things aren't quite working out as they’d hoped.
Then Becky's big chance comes, and it's an opportunity that money can't buy. But will it cost her too much?

Pitiful
Truly grating storyline. The most stupid abrupt ending as if the author suddenly decided she couldn't be bothered to write any more.

Good story but Miss Emily Grey
This is not quite on a par with the previous books in the series but still good. The biggest downside was that it no longer has Emily Grey narrating. I would have given the performance 2.5 stars if I could- 2 would be a bit too harsh!. I always felt Emily Grey’s style and characterisation was pretty spot on. Unfortunately Becky’s dramatic moments have a pitch that is a bit screechy! Worst of all though Jane, Janice, Suze and Danny all now sound like caricature aristocrats- all varying versions of over the top Lady Bracknell. How on earth Danny the amusing lazy American diva has suddenly become upper class English of a type that wouldn’t sound out of place in a sketch about a country estate shooting party. None of them sound like they are from the same country/region any more or sound like their haughty posh voices match their personalities. I continue to listen to the series because I do like the stories but I’m really sorry to have to say replacing Emily Grey has really spoilt them for me. So much so I really wish they would get her to re record the ones they did without her.

Disappointed
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
It passed the time of day and in parts was ok
What was most disappointing about Sophie Kinsella’s story?
The ending. I listened to it twice thinking I may have fallen asleep and skipped a chapter. I hadn't ! The ending was really bad. The middle bit was ok, but the characters all seemed to have had a personality transplant. I did really like the Shopaholic series, but this was most definitely the worst one.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
1) a much better ending - there was quite a lot of build up to it, but then it was as though the book had been concluded without the last 2 chapters being completed
2) keeping the character personalities the same
Was Shopaholic to the Stars worth the listening time?
It wasn't offensive, it passed some time. I'd listen to the others in the series again, I wouldn't listen to this one again.
Any additional comments?
Overall quite disappointed. I'd bought this book as soon as it came out. I'm presuming that the author has left the ending open ended for a sequel - bearing in mind it takes a good couple of years for this, I'll have completely lost all interest - the story in this respect is weak and probably not something I'd be that interested in reading / listening to.

Loved this book
Like all books Sophie writes there light hearted, laugh out loud but still at times touching and emotional. If I want a light hearted read she is my go to author. She never fails to put a smile on my face and her characters are so easy to get immersed in. Love love loved it!!

Good but not the same with different narrator
It was good but I think a series of books should have the same narrator all the way through the series as you get used to how the characters sound and come across for example Danny narrated by Emily had and American accent and Claire he's British it makes no sense and spoils it!

Love Becky Brandon 😂
I love listening to Sophie Kinsella UNABRIDGED books, they are all brilliant.
All of the UNABRIDGED SHOPAHOLIC BOOKS are so funny that I laugh out loud😂
The 6 to 12 hour books are the best. This book has a cliffhanger and carries on from where it left off in the next book 'Shopaholic to the Rescue' so it looks like it has been cut in half to make 2 books. This book is worth listening too if you want to laugh, it reminded me of a female 'Adrian Mole' in places.
I am happy to spend my credit on this book and I recommend it!

Why no ending?
Disappointed with this one as the ending is so abrupt!! Not keen on narrator either, wish they had kept the narrator from mini shopaholic!
