“OK don't panic.”
Books 1-6 in Sophie Kinsella’s brilliant Shopaholic series all start with those three words except for the one that begins with,
"OK. I can do this, no problem."
Some of Sophie Kinsella’s stand-alone novels start in a similar tone. The first line of My Not So Perfect Life reads,
“First: It could be worse.”
If you string those phrases together, your mantra might become,
“OK don’t panic. I can do this, no problem. It could be worse.”
Pretty good reminder for someone who finds themselves in a tricky predicament.
And God knows, Becky Bloomwood (protagonist of the Shopaholic series) has been in plenty of those.
Here are similarities that Becky and I now share, many years after I first started the beloved series —
* We’re both writers
* We both love shopping and luxury
* We both share the same strong determination and willpower. In short, we’re creative problem solvers who don’t give up.
Oh – and one more important similarity –
We’re both facing sizable credit card debt.
