Episode Synopsis
In this very first episode of The Bookish Cure, we kick things off with a comfort read classic: Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. Jenyve dives into the pre-read nostalgia of discovering Becky Bloomwood’s chaotic charm as a teen in the early 2000s, followed by a deeply relatable reread during her 20s when the movie release, complete with credit card shame, shopping sprees, and pretending the bills would just magically disappear. Tune in as we explore why this book still holds up, how humor can be shelf therapy, and what makes Becky’s messy, lovable energy so timeless.Let’s Connect!Did this book live rent-free in your early 2000s brain too?
