When in Rome


Georgie punya dua impian :
1. Berlibur ke Roma dan mewujudkan Roman Holiday-nya
2. Bertemu Mike mantan pacarnya yang kurang ajar, di saat Georgie tampil luar biasa cantik,
sehingga Mike menyesal setengah mati karena telah meninggalkannya.
(Bukan berarti Georgie ingin pacaran lagi dengan Mike lho, soalnya dia sudah punya David yang baik hati dan membosankan)
Namun ketika mereka bertemu lagi, Georgie kembali terpesona oleh ketampanan dan rayuan Mike. Dan ketika Mike mengajaknya ke Roma, Georgie langsung mau, lebih-lebih karena David tak menunjukkan gelagat mau mengajaknya kesana.
Tanpa disangka-sangka, di Roma Georgie malah bertemu David dan Roman Holiday-nya berubah jadi lebih rumit dari dugaan semula…….

Si Cantik doyan Belanja


Rebecca Bloomwood just hit rock bottom. But she's never looked better.... Becky Bloomwood has a fabulous flat in London's trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite friends, and a closet brimming with the season's must-haves. The only trouble is that she can't actually afford it -- not any of it. Her job writing at Successful Savings not only bores her to tears, it doesn't pay much at all. And lately Becky's been chased by dismal letters from Visa and the Endwich Bank -- letters with large red sums she can't bear to read -- and they're getting ever harder to ignore. She tries cutting back; she even tries making more money. But none of her efforts succeeds. Becky's only consolation is to buy herself something ... just a little something.... Finally a story arises that Becky actually cares about, and her front-page article catalyzes a chain of events that will transform her life -- and the lives of those around her -- forever. Sophie Kinsella has brilliantly tapped into our collective consumer conscience to deliver a novel of our times -- and a heroine who grows stronger every time she weakens. Becky Bloomwood's hilarious schemes to pay back her debts are as endearing as they are desperate. Her "confessions" are the perfect pick-me-up when life is hanging in the (bank) balance. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Kamu suka belanja? Pakai Kartu Kredit...
Hati - hati terbelit hutang, tidak semuanya akan berakhir Happy Ending seperti Becky Bloomwood ini!
Hehehe, ya dia kan punya penyelemat si Luke Brandon dari Brandon Communication ;)

Sudah ada filmnya, namun film nya merupakan penggabungan dari kedua judul novel (lanjutan dari seri pertama ini).

Menurut saya, novel nya lebih oke sih... Karena kalau film, selain terpaku karena durasi, alur ceritanya jadi beda sekali dengan yang di novel.

Novel ini sudah terbit hingga, Becky menikah dan punya anak yang doyan belanja juga! Hahaha, waspadalah Anda para gadis yang doyan belanja :D

Versi Indonesia nya juga sudah ada,

Selamat membaca!
