Book can you keep a secret

Hahaha She is clumsy, whinny, and funny that made me laugh so hard until having face palms for her. Whatever, this like a modern fairy-tale! An ordinary girl is interested by a handsome wealthy dreamy man. Nahh… I just want something like this happen real to my life! Why it has to be only in fiction? Sometimes secrets are shameful, right?

My dad even say "Pang gone crazy! I can feel how hurt and embarrassed she is. Not just Emma, but also Jack our hero who is so mysterious with something he not gonna tell anyone.. I will let you know by yourself! Xoxo Pang. View all 69 comments.

Aug 18, demi. It was hilarious. It made me laugh. But the problem is It made no sense since Emma the protagonist of the book told all her secrets to a complete stranger. But oh, I was so wrong. A lot of things in the book frustrated me.

The first problem passed, the second problem came. The second problem passed, The third problem came. The third problem passed, the fourth problem came. It was like a cycle and it gave me big big headaches. Anyway, I need to take a break from this kind of story for a while. View 1 comment.

I felt like the meme of eating popcorn while reveling in the drama. Cautions: -The whole thing revolves around an entry level employee and the CEO of her company knowing inappropriate things about her. This was published in and this type of 'humor' was unfortunately part of that time. Full disclosure - I'm straight so don't take only my word on if this is truly harmful, but it did make me want to facepalm and I think I would have rated this higher without it.

The heroine Emma blurted out every little detail of her life to some random guy sitting next to her just because the plane she was on was going thro 2. The heroine Emma blurted out every little detail of her life to some random guy sitting next to her just because the plane she was on was going through some turbulence. Naturally, the random guy turned out to be her sexy, bazillionaire boss who used her secrets against her the first chance he got never mind professionalism and good work ethic.

Nothing else was important, career and family didn't matter, it was all about landing a man. That was the ultimate achievement. She was seriously deluded. Not once did he tell her he loved her and there was nothing in his actions that suggested he was.

They'd had two dates and one night of sex and that somehow made Emma think Jack was in love with her. What a stupid cow. Why are all of Kinsella's heroines such doormats? Emma was on a whole other level of doormat, she just smiled and kept her mouth shut whenever her family or someone else bitched at her. It was beyond infuriating to read the POV of someone who was so unable to stand up for themselves.

They saved all that for their niece Kerry , and treated her better than their own daughter. Emma was the one who needed love and emotional support, not Kerry. When her jerk parents finally realised how they'd been favouring Kerry over their only child for years, all they did was give a lame apology and act mildly remorseful.

And silly cow Emma immediately accepted their apology and was over the top grateful for them finally acting like half decent parents. Yea, as fucking if. A halfhearted apology doesn't erase years of rubbish parenting, Emma's reaction was so unrealistic. In reality she would have still been hurt and bitter about how unloved she'd felt growing up, I didn't expect her to rant and rage at them but some real emotions would have been appreciated. Instead she went on like they were the best parents in the world, and magically forgot their douchey behaviour after a sentence or two of mild remorse.

Yea right. The way Jack talked about him, it was like they had an epic love affair or something. And then him acting like it was unintentional was beyond ridiculous, he revealed every little thing about her and then he was all 'duh, it was an accident. I'm sowwy. They were both such idiots. A ridiculous read, but it was still quite funny and entertaining in a cheesy, predictable, cliched, silly sort of way.

Emma ,who is kinda scared of flying, was on an airplane when a turbulence occur. Everything turns out to be okay. Emma goes home. This was my first book by Sophie Kinsella and I decided to read it after reading the review of my dear friend KAS, so thank you.

This book made me grin, a lot. And I really felt embarrassed for Emma. This girl is a mess. Overall, it was entertaining. Song recommendation: Do you want to know a secret by The Beatles View all 15 comments.

This book was hilarious. The basic idea is, imagine what would happen if in a moment of panic you were to spill all your darkest secrets to a perfect stranger and of course that stranger was extremely attractive and turned out to be a new big shot at your company, genius uh?

When Emma spills it all out it makes you want to cover your eyes with your hands and tell her: The fun, as always with Kinsella standalone novels, is guaranteed and the romance is just witty and cute. In the final retribution moment I was yeah! I actually pictured myself kicking her in the derriere a couple of times!! View all 3 comments. Shelves: zreads , e-books , lollerskates. First of all thank you, Jasprit, for insisting I read this one.

A couple of days ago I was sick and in bed all day. I had just finished another book and was wondering which book to start next.

I saw this on my Nook and remembered you said it's her best book. This book really made me feel better when I was under the weather. Emma is 25 and has been through many jobs. She has had a job in marketing for over a year now, and although she does okay, she's not exactly moving up the corporate ladder. Sh First of all thank you, Jasprit, for insisting I read this one. She lives with her bff Lissy and has a boyfriend that she thinks is almost too cute and perfect.

One day on a terrifying plane crash she turns to the man next to her and starts blabbering every random secret she has to the stranger next to her.

She tells him everything including several things that could get her in trouble at work. A few days later when this stranger walks in her workplace and she's made aware that he is the founder of her company she is mortified. Can he keep her secrets? I've gotten to the point where I feel like if you have reviewed one Sophie Kinsella book you have reviewed them all. The same things always apply.

Laugh out loud humor, a loveable but usually quite clueless heroine, some barely there romance, and a picture perfect ending. They also usually include a subtle message from which the character learns something important about life. The fact that you know what you're getting when you go into one of her books can be a good thing or a bad thing.

For me I like it. I know what to expect and she never lets me down. Note: I have read a few of her singles, but still haven't gotten to the Shopaholic series, so don't hold me to that. My only complaint and reason for giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the predictability. See how I said it could go both ways? I like knowing what to expect, but I would also like a bit of surprise with the ending.

This one had a formula that seemed so similar to "I've got Your Number" in regards to the boyfriend factor. Why bother giving the heroines a boyfriend at the start of the book? We always know how that's going to end. I know Sophie Kinsella has it in her to write something more original and unique for the chick-lit genre and when she does that's when I will give her my 5 stars. Fans of Kinsella will not be disappointed with this one, and I agree with Jasprit.

This is her best that I've read so far. View all 11 comments. May 06, Kat rated it really liked it Shelves: library Emma has always kept everything a secret, never really living the truest version of herself.

Entered on screen reader. Feeling sad and lonely? Want to have a good laugh? You came to the right place after all!!! The most craziest looniest romance I ever come across!!!! Absolutely love love love loved this book!!! The beginning, the plot, the characters, the connections, writing skills and the ending was excellent!!!!!!!

Of course I do. Everyone has a secret. It's completely normal. I'm sure I don't have any more than anybody else. I'm not talking about big, earth-shatteri Feeling sad and lonely? I'm not talking about big, earth-shattering secrets. Not the-president-is-planning-to-bomb-Japan-and-only-Will-Smith-can-save-the-world type secrets.

Just normal, everyday little secrets. The beginning had me glued to the book and I solemnly swear that I've never laughed so hard laughed as in choked-on-my-food-tummy -aching-tears-spilling-snorting-laugh ,well at least not with every turning page. The story was really really good and so was the movie!! My Kate Spade bag is a fake.

I love sweet sherry, the least cool drink in the universe. I have no idea what NATO stands for. I weigh 9 stone 3. Not 8 stone 3, like my boyfriend Connor thinks. Although in my defence, I was planning to go on a diet when I told him that. And to be fair, it is only one number different.

I've always thought Connor looks a bit like Ken. Um, did I need any more reasons to carry on reading?? Emma Corrigan is a sweet, clumsy young woman with a biiiiiig heart and one day, her life dramatically changes. On a flight back home, by an accident she spills all her secret to a hot ass stranger thinking they were going to die with a plane crash OMG I died I feel like Dorothy.

A second ago I was swirling around in Oz, clicking my heels together, and now I've woken up all flat and quiet and normal again. I look at him as though for the first time — and it hits me. I've been blabbering non-stop for an hour to this complete stranger. God alone knows what I've been saying. I think I want to get off this plane right now. I mean, I told him about my knickers. I told him about my G spot.

This part had me laughing my ass off. Emma feels humiliated and thinks that she was going get fired from her job but fate has another plan for her. The both of them. I actually watched the movie before I ever read the book and I'm so glad that I did!!

Jack was amazing. He was one of those sweet male characters who will have you swooning and melting. Emma was pretty great too! Her honesty and self love is really admirable, which makes them a really good pair. Jack's mature loving personality goes well with Emma's clumsy fun one. This couple is so on my Top Ten Cutest Couples!!!

The sweet love story of Jack and Emma, that will show you that someone somewhere in this world will always love you despite your flaws and clumsiness. That someone out there loves you for the way you are, even if you are the most imperfect person in the world.

Buckle up fellas!!! To a embarrassing yet sweet journey that will make blush and laugh!!! Review posted on Fafa's Book Corner! Beware spoilers ahead! I have been a fan of Kinsella's since Finding Audrey. Naturally I went through all of her books and tried to decide which one to read. I am happy to say that I loved it! Emma has gone to represent her company Panther Cooperation in a meeting. As per Kinsella books the meeting turns into a disaster whilst Emma spilling a product on one of the other company's worker.

Emma goes back in a bad mood a Review posted on Fafa's Book Corner! Emma goes back in a bad mood and has quite a bit to drink. The plane she is on experiences turbulence. Out of panic and she's drunk Emma tells all her secrets to another passenger. The writing tense is in first person all from Emma's point of view.

There are numbers for the chapters. As well as emails and notes. I related to a lot of Emma's work woes. It's really hard to prove yourself in a workplace that doesn't appreciate you. Emma's co-workers like Artemis reminded me off some of my co-workers. There's always that one person that's just fake. On the bright side Katie was fun to read about! She was actually really sweet and a good friend to Emma. Emma lived in an apartment with two flatmates.

Lissy and Jemima. Lissy has been Emma's best friend since they were 7. There friendship was absolutely adorable! I'm a bit conflicted about Jemima. She definitely thought she was helping.

But Jemima's suggestions were terrible. And didn't really make sense. I do have to give Jemima props for trying to help. Emma's family play a huge part in Can You Keep a Secret?

Emma feels that she's disappointed her parents. Her cousin Kerry always tries and succeeds to one up Emma. Nev Kerry's husband also pokes at Emma about her career changes. Emma is able to sort everything out with her family. Prior to Can You Keep a Secret? Emma begins dating a co-worker named Connor. Connor works in another division at Panther Cooperation.

During the plane ride Emma realizes that she doesn't really have feelings for Connor anymore. Emma is in denial about this. She breaks up with him much later on. I personally found Connor to be annoying! Emma asks Connor to keep their break-up to himself for the time being. Seeing as they work together. Instead at a party while drunk announces their break-up. Their office blames the whole situation on Emma as she is the one to dump him.

And he doesn't even apologize! It didn't help that the co-workers didn't bother to see it from Emma' point of view. Connor also tries multiple times to confront Emma about who she is dating. He acts like a martyr and always has a way of patronizing Emma. I also found him to be totally inconsiderate. To try and look professional during a staff meeting Connor shuts down Emma's point.

Just because Jack Harper was present. I honestly don't understand why Emma blamed herself for everything.

Connor has a brain too. He can realize himself that not all women keep secrets. As far as Emma's secrets go I didn't find them that bad. Some of them were really dumb while the others hilarious! What was troubling is how easy it was for Emma to lie.

And she did so constantly. Emma did develop and started actually admitting the truth. She even started to stand up for herself! Emma stood up to Kerry and Paul her boss. I especially liked how she handled Paul. And in the end it paid off as she got promoted. I really liked Emma and Jack's relationship!

When Jack appears in at the Panther Cooperation, he spends quite a bit of time poking fun at Emma's secrets. It was honestly so assuming! Through their relationship they grew.

Jack learned to become more open. And Emma learned to stand up for herself and be honest. They made a really good couple. Also Jack's actually American. I didn't have any problems. Expect for Connor but I think it was well handled.

And blissfully she broke up with him early enough. I highly recommend it. Nov 25, Sophia rated it it was ok.

Can You Keep a Secret is possibly my favorite Kinsella standalone. It follows the story of Emma, an ordinary, slightly ditzy girl think Anna from Anna and the French Kiss who accidentally spills all her secrets to a stranger on the plane.

And that stranger later turns out to be her boss. In honor of this book—and because I absolutely suck at writing reviews for books I love, I am going to spill to you, strangers of the Internet, all of my secrets.

Okay, not all, but five. I used to be majorly obsessed with Seventeen magazine. Back then, I begged my parents numerous times over the dinner table to buy me a subscription all the savings!

In hindsight, that was probably a good thing because I soon got tired of all the high-definition pages of clothes, shoes, and make-up. The real sustenance was located in the back and only covered pages. I'm proud to say that nowadays I blow my money on more worthy things, like badly-written YA novels that induce headaches.

That's a biggie. I'm a huge fan of Taylor Swift, even though liking her is an extremely uncool thing these days. Her lyrics are prose spun into music, that's all the reason I need. Then I make a pro-vs-con list in my head and all is right in the world once more.

I love Kinsella's work. A lot of people hate them and I get it. Her heroines are essentially recycled book to book. The love interest is usually American and a logical businessman compared to the scatterbrained MC.

They're filled with first-world problems and limited character growth. The problems work themselves out most of the time and the MC and Mr. Businessman go home happy and schmooze. But at the same time, they're also fun, compulsively readable, and keep me up reading til 2am on a school night because I can't stop flipping the pages.

She lives with intolerably stupid flatmates, and has an intolerably stupid boyfriend whom she doesn't actually love but is determined to stay with because he is handsome. Emma works for an intolerably stupid company Panther Cola and reports to tiny men with big egos that speak to her as though she is the biggest inconvenience in their day my favourite lines are "Emma, please get your arse in gear" and "Emma, please get the fuck out of my office".

Instead of Emma Corrigan is intolerably stupid. Instead of handing in her notice as any self-respecting woman would and going to work in a more positive environment, Emma desperately seeks to move up the ladder so she can impress her intolerably stupid family who make fun of her because she isn't a CEO yet she's only 25 by doing what's expected of her in her marketing assistant role and then pleading with her boss to promote her after one year even though she hasn't a clue in hell what she's doing.

I've just reached the part where the CEO presses the emergency button in the elevator, thus trapping them inside together, and proceeds to tell her what kind of man she needs. Thank you.

Which he does. Emma's so sure she has ruined her opportunity for a promotion, but Jack seems as eager to keep their meeting a secret as Emma is. Yet, he won't leave her alone. He talks to the family that tends to neglect her, he asks her to clandestine meetings. He's driving her crazy--in more ways than one. When Emma dumps her boyfriend Connor, who she hadn't realized until she met Jack that she could never love, she and Jack embark on a somewhat strange relationship.

Emma thinks Jack's perfect, until he publicly humiliates her with all those things she told him on the plane! Click here to see the rest of this review. The review of this Book prepared by Sarrah. Emma Corrigan feels life as she has had a fabulous year though the Pollyanna young woman always sees the optimistic side of things.

Still she has a right to feel great as she stays employed at Panther Cola for nearly a year and is seeing the perfect Ken-doll like boyfriend Connor.
