Confessions of a Shopaholic
Sophie Kinsella
Top 10 Best Quotes

I look... well, I've never looked better in my life. But of course, looks are only part of the package, aren't they?”
“They said I was a valued customer, now they send me hate mail.”
“Shopping is actually very similar to farming a field. You can't keep buying the same thing, you have to have a bit of variety. Otherwise you get bored and stop enjoying yourself.”
