Review can you keep a secret

Why is communication important in successful relationships? The film hinges on two people keeping each other's secrets. Why is it important to not break a trust, even if you think it's not important?

How does Emma demonstrate self-control , even when she's been hurt? Can friends, in an effort to be encouraging, sometimes lead us down the wrong path? Why is it important to see diverse characters and role models in the media? Do you think a female director and female director of photography are better at telling a woman's story -- or does it matter? Do you think dating co-workers is OK? What if people are at opposite ends of the company hierarchy -- does that make a difference?

It's nearly impossible to hate a book after it makes you feel so warm and fuzzy inside. Most of this book is solid 5-star material.

There's humor, romance, lesbian fantasies, drama, and good decision-making, along with some of the most outrageously hilarious characters ever to be created yes, I mean you, Jemima. Unfortunately, the ending sorely lacks closure, and is the main reason why I didn't give this a higher rating.

All my other problems mainly stem from this one issue. The ending left me entirely unsatisfied and highly doubtful about the future of Emma and Jack, as a couple and otherwise.

Basically, it didn't feel like an ending. It was rushed and anti-climactic, in addition to being slightly unrealistic. It would have been the perfect ending had this been a series, but since it's a stand-alone novel, I got the distinct impression that there were still several chapters left, and they were simply missing from the version of the book I read.

Not the greatest feeling to have after finishing a book, to be sure. I'm sure most female readers can relate to her in one aspect or the other. I really loved Jack too, until he view spoiler [betrayed Emma hide spoiler ]. I never truly accepted his excuse, nor did I entirely forgive him for it. After everything that happened between Emma and Jack, especially the whole deal with their respective secrets, I would have really liked to see more of them as a couple, to genuinely believe they had anything lasting going on.

These are two individuals from vastly different backgrounds, and let's face it: the man's a multimillionaire, and the girl's his employee.

In real life, these kind of relationships hardly ever work out, and I would have liked Kinsella to prove me wrong by actually showing Emma and Jack in a stable relationship, one where they both learn to talk their problems out instead of jumping to conclusions. We never really get to know Jack as someone besides "Jack Harper, the man who founded the Panther Corporation", and the trust between Emma and him seems too delicate and fragile for anything but a temporary affair.

I guess I was simply expecting more from this book, and while it was one of the best light reads I've read in a while, that annoying feeling I got, the one where I really don't feel the ending did justice to the story, sort of ruined it for me.

That aside, this is truly a fantastic book, one of the rare ones I'll certainly be re-reading in the years to come. I am forever indebted to you. View all 33 comments. You cannot trust me on this!

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. Sep 28, Trina Between Chapters rated it really liked it Shelves: adult , , romance , audiobooks , standalones. This was SO enjoyable to me!

It delivered on the premise. 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. View all 19 comments. This was really cute and funny! A great lighthearted read. Review to come! View 2 comments. Aug 25, EmBibliophile rated it really liked it Shelves: 4-stars. 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: e-books , zreads , 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.

The family was delightfully terrible in this one! Entered on screen reader. 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.
