I was able to get through enough of this book to see that this could have been a fun read, but I was so annoyed by the first-person-present-tense that I couldn’t force myself to continue beyond the first few chapters. DNF at 40 pages. I was reading this for the 2017 Romance Bingo, for the New Adul...

Ugh, how can so many people adore this book? I made it to 11% before I remembered life is way too short to read about such a depressing character. Emma is a self-deluding door mat with an honesty problem. Her panicked confession of secrets on a bumpy flight was amusing, but that's really all I could...

I was looking for a lighthearted fluffy kind of romance and in certain respects, this book delivered. Emma Corrigan is a heroine who makes endless blunders and has socially awkward moments that made me smile and laugh. She is basically an airhead times one hundred, which I initially didn't mind bu...

Meet Emma Corrigan, a young woman with a huge heart, an irrepressible spirit, and a few little secrets: Secrets from her boyfriend: I've always thought Connor looks a bit like Ken. As in Barbie and Ken. Secrets from her mother: I lost my virginity in the spare bedroom with Danny Nussbaum while Mum a...

Initial thoughts: Maybe I should've read Can You Keep A Secret? before I've Got Your Number because the latter was published much later in Sophie Kinsella's writing career and was way funnier. A lot of the times I wanted to smack the protagonist's head because she was so incredibly naive and shallow...

A lot of the books I've read lately were fairly intense, so I was looking forward to something lighthearted and fun. Well, I'm glad to report "Can You Keep a Secret?" definitely fit the bill. Parts of it were quite cheesy, but that didn't stop me from giggling aloud. Overall, this was an enjoyable r...

Emma tells the man sitting next to her on a plane all of her secrets only top have him them turn up at her office. This book is cutesy which just isn't quite my vibe, it felt like I was reading a 90's rom-com. Also I started this on audiobook and the reader all wrong. Emma is in her early twenties ...

I know, I know, it's chick lit. But it's a nice way to escape from life, and the jokes were pretty funny.

I absolutely loved this story of a woman who unexpectedly spills all her closest secrets to a man on a plane who then turns out to be the new uber-boss - but to tell the truth you can't really go wrong with a Kinsella, can you? It's an utterly charming page-turner, and it was wonderful to see the ...

Can You Keep a Secret? - Sophie Kinsella Emma was such an adorably sweet, quirky character and just generally a mess. She really couldn't catch a break until she met Jack. I was happy that things worked out for her, because the woman deserved to finally get some good luck! LOL I laughed, g...
