"This is where it all begins. Meet Rebecca Bloomwood. She’s a financial journalist who spends all day writing articles on how to manage money wisely. Her own method of managing money is to hide her Visa bills under the bed and hope they’ll disappear.
Becky just can’t stop shopping, whether it’s stocking up on 3 for 2 offers, or buying an essential grey cardigan, or falling in lust with a pair of dreamy shoes.
She knows she has to stop, and decides to follow her Dad’s advice : Cut Back or Make More Money. Except, Cutting Back seems impossible, and her attempts to Make More Money just get her into trouble. Her bank manager is sending her sterner and sterner letters, her credit cards are being declined, her Mum and Dad have no idea… what is she going to do ?
Will Becky ever take control of her life, find love and regain the use of her credit card ?
It was the most fun book ever to write. I laughed and laughed, even as I was thinking that people might think I was insane. What I had no idea was how many Becky Bloomwoods there are out there in this world. They’re in every country, as far as I can make out. And lots of them are men.
