I just wrote a review of a book I read a long time ago, Sophie Kinsella's Can You Keep A Secret, for a goodreads groups book of the month, so I thought I'd post it here too, since I haven't really posted anything recently. So, here it is!
Emma Corrigan is on a plane, which she believes is going to crash and she will die, so she starts talking to the man next to her (which she will later find out that he's the CEO of her company), and basically tells him everything from her darkest secrets and her desires. When she gets back to work, and finds out that the man is the CEO and sees all her coworkers vying for his attention, she's embarrased to realize that when they all want him to at least know their names, he knows so much more about her. So as the novel progresses, Emma struggles to balance her working ability with her fears that her boss is going to say something about her confessions on the plane, especially since he knows way more about her than her closest friends and her boyfriend.
I absolutely love Sophie Kinsella because she's reliable. Reliable in the sense that I can always count on her to make me laugh, or at the very least, smile, as I go through the pages of her books. All of her characters are either lovable or 'love to hate' and that's the case in Can You Keep a Secret.
All I can say is, after reading this book whenever I'm on an airplane I make a great effort to bury all of my secrets and confessions so they don't accidently come out because you never know who the person seated next to you will be.
