I loved this book because all of the characters in it seemed so human, and they were very easy to relate to. This book definitely has some laugh-out-loud moments, along with some, "Hey, I know how she feels" moments. Definitely a good read.

I had never heard of Sophie Kinsella before a friend gave me this book - it was awesome! If you need a good dose of "can you even believe that happened?" humor this is the book you're looking for! I've now read all Sophie's books and wish that Emma would come back to life in a series. Please......, Sophie???

I love this book! It is so sweet in the beginning, mischevious in the middle, and lovely at the end.

My favorite book so far by Sophie Kinsella. Was laughing out loud while reading it. I couldn't put it down the whole time

A fun, easy read. If you want to laugh, this is for you!

This book was excellent! It was the first book I've ever read that actually made me laugh out loud! It made me feel so much for the main character-Emma-that I couldn't put it down! I laughed, felt anger, felt sad. The writing is amazing! This is the first book I've read by this author and so now I will be checking out more of her novels. I very highly reccommend this book to anyone!

I love this author and will ready anything she writes (and have). This was written in the same style as her popular Shopaholic books...funny, charming and sweet.

I was actually quite surprised to learn that there was a Sophie Kinsella book that I had not read. Her last book Remember Me? was one of my favorites from last year. This book is older, probably released around the same time as the first Shopaholic books. This novel is a standalone and follows in true Kinsella form for being light, fun, and totally entertaining. No deep plot, no deep philosophical discussion, or not even too many big words. Let’s just be honest, there isn’t going to be a plague on anyone’s house in this story.

Basic plot premise is life seen through the eyes of endearingly optimistic Emma Corrigan a twenty something junior marketing executive at Panther Corporation. In an attempt to boost her career she volunteers to substitute for her boss at a meeting with clients in Glasgow. After she is unsuccessful at winning them over, she flies back praying that she will have a job when she returns. Already a highly nervous flier, Emma completely loses it when her flight from Glasgow to London encounters severe turbulence. Thinking the end is near, she spills every secret she has ever had to the stranger next to her. How she lost her virginity, what she really thinks of her boyfriend, the petty (but hilarious) stunts she pulls on co-workers, the way she killed her parents' goldfish while they were on vacation and replaced it without their knowledge, her deepest thoughts on g-strings, her contemptible sow of a cousin Kerry, Charles Dickens, and more. When the plane miraculously lands, Emma is thankful she will never again see this man who knows every little secret of her life. Or so she thinks. (Insert evil laugh) Emma returns to her job to find that the stranger she blabbed to is none other than the CEO of Panther Corporation, Jack Harper who just so happens to be visiting from America. (Come and knock on our door…)

Let’s just say hilarity ensues and there is of course, a happy ending. Emma is very reminiscent of Kinsella's other heroine, the shopaholic Becky Bloomwood. A definite honorable mention goes to my favorite character in the story, Emma’s roommate Jemima. Jemima is kind of like the UK version of the ghetto fabulous girl from the hood who will fake a pregnancy or chuck a brick through a guy's car window for cheating on her. Though instead of velour tracksuits and huge hoop earrings, Jemima wears Prada mules, pearls, and cashmere cardigans. Every scene with Jemima had me in internal giggles at her sage thoughts on men, jewels, and her tried and true methods of "getting the ring on your finger".

Can You Keep a Secret? definitely keeps the tried and true theme of good girl who makes horrible decisions but learns a big lesson and still ends up with the guy, but for chick-lit that is pretty much a hat trick. I definitely recommend for filler between heavier subject matter due to it's fast paced timing and rapid fire resolutions. All in all not a bad little story and yes, I was entertained.

This books has some great laugh out loud moments and is a fun read. I like the characters personality and I enjoyed this book much more than Remember Me?. The only thing I had to adjust to were a few terms as the book is written in Europe english vs. US english. (Like asking a person "to get on" isn't a term I'd heard before...)

Cute book - really starting to like this author. An easy read that left me wanting more of the character.

Good book. Had me laughing out loud. I finished it in 2 days as with most of Sophie Kinsella books.

As with all of her books this one was absolutely great!! I would start with this one if you have never read one of hers. Absolutely delightful and very funny!!!!

This is one of the best books I've read by Sophie. I like it because it's very different from her other books. It's one of the funniest (appropriate) books i've ever read.

I'm normally not a fan of Sophie Knsella's characters. This one started out in much the same way, very flighty. But it very quickly picked up and turned into a fabulous story.

A very light read, characters are lovable, but the end was hurried.

Great book! A must read for any Kinsella fan!

fun

great book!

Fun read.

I love this book. Great fast read. Will have you laughing out loud!!
