And then there’s her musician ex-boyfriend who unexpectedly shows up in town with his new girlfriend. She might be in trouble with the entire country of Norway after creating her own (fictional) version of hygge, “sprygge.” Her environmentally conscious sister wants Becky to decorate a broom instead of a Christmas tree and have a vegan turkey on the table. First, she needs to find the perfect gift for her husband, Luke, but in order to get it she just might have to petition an all-male billiards club to accept female members (Becky, of course, doesn’t play billiards). As usual, however, Becky finds herself stuck with a ton of problems.

Becky has no idea how to host a holiday dinner for her entire family and extended network of family friends, but she’s never met a problem she couldn’t shop her way out of. Her parents’ transformation into hipsters means that Becky has to host Christmas at her home in Letherby. Now, instead of Christmas sweaters and carols, they’re into unicycles and avocado toast. But then her parents drop a huge surprise-they’re moving to an apartment in the superhip London neighborhood of Shoreditch. It’s cozy and warm and, other than her favorite Christmas tradition (shopping), Becky doesn’t have to do much of anything. Kinsella’s ( I Owe You One, 2019, etc.) much-loved Shopaholic is back-and this time, it’s Christmas.īecky Brandon is looking forward to spending Christmas with her husband and daughter at her parents’ house, just like always.
