Can You Keep a Secret, by Sophie Kinsella


I’m afraid to say much about Can You Keep a Secret, by Sophie Kineslla (published by The Dial Press in 2004). It’s a fairly uncomplicated plot, and I’d hate to give away a single thing. But essentially, in the first pages of the book, Emma believes the plane she is on is about to crash. In her fear (and inebriation), she begins to disclose all of her life’s secrets to the man sitting beside her: a perfect stranger. The plane lands safely, and in the next several days, Emma is humiliated to find that the perfect stranger that now knows the most intimate details of who she truly is is, in fact, the founder of the company she works for, and will be in her office a great deal in the future. 


What unfolds will alternately make you cringe on Emma’s behalf, laugh at the hilarity of her circumstances, and...well, there’s a happy ending. And that’s all you need to know. It’s a fast, fun book for female audiences.
