Bestselling author Sophie Kinsella, known for her “Confessions of a Shopaholic” series, died on Wednesday (December 10), at the age of 55, battling glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.

Kinsella, who also published under her real name Madeleine Wickham, revealed in April 2024 that she had been diagnosed more than a year earlier. She explained at the time: “I did not share this before because I wanted to make sure that my children were able to hear and process the news in privacy and adapt to our ’new normal.’”
