After being diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, in late 2022, Sophie Kinsella decided to share the news with her followers. She explained that she kept the diagnosis private initially to ensure her children could process the information and adjust to the ‘new normal’.

Despite the tough battle, Kinsella shared that she remains stable and generally well, although she often experiences fatigue and humorously noted that her memory has taken a hit.

She also extended her appreciation to her readers for their unwavering support, particularly highlighting the positive reception of her latest book release, ‘The Burnout‘.

The bestselling author concluded her statement by sending love and well wishes to all individuals facing cancer, emphasizing the importance of the support and care provided by loved ones during such challenging times.

Her work has been translated into over 40 languages, reaching millions of readers globally.

Notably, the first two books from the Shopaholic series were adapted into the 2009 film ‘Confessions of a Shopaholic’, starring actress Isla Fisher alongside Hugh Dancy. Kinsella, who has four sons and a daughter with her husband Henry Wickham, continues to inspire fans with her creativity and resilience in the face of adversity.
