I can't believe the overall rating for this book! - By: Corinna Venturi, 13 Jun 2008 
I have always been a lover of chick lit, Marian Keyes, Jane Green, love 'em all for a bit of light reading. So I've been eyeing the Sophie Kinsella books for a while & finally picked up 'Can You Keep a Secret?'...oh dear. Unfortunately I cannot keep the secret of how much I hated this book! Sadly I am the sort of person who cannot leave a book once I've started it & so I stayed until the bitter end.
I have never written a negative review (I would simply stay silent) so I'm very sorry Ms Kinsella. However, I have had to suffer an entire book where the plotline is so painfully obvious & the heroine was such an utter moron that if I were to meet someone like that I would shake her by the shoulders & tell her to stop being such an idiotic wimp! As the reader, I am generally meant to feel some sort of sympathy or empathy with the main characterin these types of book, not soin this case. Emma Corrigan is an imbecile & the type of 'friend' one would tend to avoid at all costs. Nothing the character does is remotely realistic & the only reason I give this book 1 star is because if Emma can end up with a rich successful boyfriend AND a promotion, then there is hope for us all! Although I really think this is stretching the meaning of 'fiction' to it's outer limits, maybe it should be reclassified under 'fantasy'.
Usually I share my books with my friends & family or give them to the charity shop when I've finished with them. This time I simply left it on the bus & walked away. Now I'm off to pick up some Aldous Huxleyin attempt to get some of those brain cells back...

I didnt realise sophie kinsella had written this book until I just read it & Oh my god i was so not disappointed! I am a huge fan of the shopaholic series & can never wait for sophie to bring another book out - this book is sooooooooooooooooooooooo funny! Seriously all i can say is i love it ! praise for sophie - I havent read a disappointing book of hers yet!
Loved it - By: Lizbet, 05 May 2008 I'm sorry I read this book so quickly, but I couldn't put it down. Emma, the main character, is fantastic. She is so funny. Her troubles start when, during a bad bout of turbulence on a plane she tells all her secrets to the man sitting beside her. He turns out to be the big boss of the company she works for, & he knows everything about her! Their romance is lovely. Emma learns that it's okay to be herself, & to be honest. She even starts telling people some home truths, which is well overdue. Jack learns to open up too. The ending is perfect.
Another book, another great review... - By: MK, 21 Apr 2008 Sophie Kinsella is a legend - there is no other description. If you are new to the wonders of Miss Kinsella, this will make you a die-hard fan. Alright, the Shopaholic series is by far her best work but this little delight is nothing short of brilliant. Emma is a typical 20-something girl who wants the great thingsin life but lacks the confidence to seek them. She works for a global organisation as a marketing assistant along with her boyfriend & together they make the 'perfect couple' ..or do they? On a flight to Glasgow for a business meeting, she expereiences some turbulence & i'm not just talking about the flight. Suddenly she finds her self spilling her entire lifes worth of secrets to a total stranger & thats when Emma's life takes a bumpy ride straight into the arms of Jack Harper. The stranger on the plane? Well not so much a stranger when it turns out he is the founder & owner of that global organisation she works at...
Read it, you'll love it!!
