I'm a sucker of Sophie Kinsella, although I will say I might be the only chick-lit blogger on the planet who has not read all of the Shopaholic books (I had to quit after the sister one, I was just done).
But "Can You Keep A Secret" is adorable, and is the perfect example of chick-lit at its finest.
Emma's an assistant marketing exec, desperate to make her mark, but spending most of her time serving coffee and typing correspondence. She takes a flight to Glasgow, hits some major turbulence on the way home, and in a "this is the last moment of my life" bout of hysteria, spills every ugly secret she can think of to the perfect stranger sitting beside her.
Little does she know that she will live to tell the tale of this flight, and that she has inadvertently bared her soul to the CEO and owner of Panther Cola, the company for which she works!
Jack (the boss) is intrigued, and he and Emma begin a flirtation becomes something serious. At least until Emma realizes that Jack knows everything about her, and she knows virtually nothing about him. Will they be able to make their relationship work? What secret is Jack hiding? Will Emma ever find a comfortable pair of thong underwear?
Predictable but well-written, I love this book.
4/5 stars (too lazy to even copy the graphic this evening...)
