Becky Bloomwood is back....in Manhattan. Luke has some business to take care of in New York, and Becky is asked to go with him. Becky loves New York-the people, the designer stores. All her overdraft credit card bills are back in London, and she's getting some great opportunities here-to be a financial adviser at financial TV shows. Life at New York couldn't be better.
But Becky is a shopaholic, and she can't resist shopping. Again, she has an overdraft that she's been trying to ignore. She's lied and she has the image of a very sensible person with tons of money in her savings account and no overdraft card bills to all the producers of the financial TV shows and the people who watch one of her TV shows. So when a paparazzi takes a picture of her shopping, her hands full with designer shop bags, she's screwed. The picture's all over in the newspapers, all her meetings with the producers are canceled and Luke is mad at her. Real mad.
Becky's life is even more tangled up now, with the new bank manager who isn't as nice as the old one, her boyfriend is mad at her, and she's lost all her job careers. But somehow-Becky Bloomwood figures it all out. After all, how could've she become a financial adviser if she wasn't that smart?
The best part was when she was shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue. This was one of her clueless and childish thinking as well. She had bought a $500 Kate Spade bag, and while she was buying it, she was thinking 'Well, these bags must be at least, what, half the price back in London with the quids! This is a real bargain!'
