I decided that I was going to ease myself in to reading myself to a better place, so the first book I read from my Quarter-Life-Crisis shelf was Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. This book was added to my shelf from the http://www.lovetwenty.com/ book list.
What I have to say about this book.
It was an adorable little book. I have not seen the movie, so I really didn't know what to expect. The writing made me feel like the protagonist was just telling me about her life, and it was therefore a really fun and easy read. However all that being said, I still struggled through this book. I'm relatively money wise and I just couldn't understand how someone could get so into trouble and not realize that something really has got to change.
Did I learn any lessons?
Sure. It has made me think that I should start my budget spreadsheets now so I don't forget and fall behind after I graduate. The girl is a compulsive liar in the book, and it made me think that I should really think before I speak (because I too, lie out my ass sometimes).
Favorite lines:
"I mean, we're two civilized adults, aren't we? Adults just don't do things like that."
"And anyway, who defines 'real life'? Who says 'real life' is property ladders and hideous pearl earrings? 'Shit-boring tedious life,' more like."
