Synopsis

Life in Manhattan is treating Becky Bloomwood beautifully. She's living in the West Village with Luke, she's found her dream job as a personal shopper at Barneys, and — best of all — Luke has finally proposed. Becky is going to be a bride, and for once, planning the perfect day should be the one thing she's genuinely qualified to do.

There's just one small problem. Without quite meaning to, Becky has ended up with two weddings. Her mother is happily arranging a cosy, homemade family celebration in the garden back in Oxshott, exactly as she always dreamed. Luke's glamorous, formidable mother, Elinor, is planning something rather grander: a spectacular society wedding at the Plaza. Both are booked. Both are for the same day. And Becky can't bring herself to disappoint either of them.

The third Shopaholic novel is a giddy, warm-hearted comedy of engagement jitters, family loyalties, and one impossible secret that grows more unmanageable with every fitting, tasting, and RSVP.
