Why She’s a Wonderful Writer: I think the main reason I enjoy Kinsella’s writing and stories so much is that they are so entertaining! Her characters are so much fun and relatable in many ways. Sure some of their situations maybe blown out of proportion, but that what makes the plot so enticing to her readers. Kinsella’s books are nice, light reads, and they always are sure to make me laugh and cheer me up when I’m having a bad day. I enjoy the Shopaholic series most of all since I love reading about Becky Bloomwood’s crazy shopping escapades.
