I liked this book better than her shopaholic books. This character was more endearing and likeable. She basically thinks she is going to die in a plane crash and starts spilling her guts to a stranger. The stranger turns out to be her new boss, and really hot. He now knows all her secrets and really likes her because of it. She knows a secret of his too. Boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in bed or love , boy or girl betray or misunderstand the other. Then boy and girl work it all out.

I'm usually involved with reading mysteries, but diverged to this book via forum reviews. It was okay; light reading. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend spending your time reading it, with the kazillion other books to choose from in the world!

Written with dry wit and humor, Can You Keep A Secret? is engaging in a light, satisfactory manner. Other reviewers add that the belief in reality must be suspended while undertaking the reading of this particular novel. Once that has happened, however, it is fanciful to suppose that a story like this could happen to someone, and the author spins that fancy into a lovely, sweet romance. Kinsella creates a dashing, charming and highly successful CEO that strives to capture our hearts as well as he has captured Emma's.

The novel is not without its faults - the "necessary drama" that must always unravel itself in such a novel of course occurs, taking its shape in the spilling of secrets and sudden mistrust. For some, it may create a bit of an unsatisfactory ending (though the story, of course, ends happily). Yet the ride (both literal and figurative) is special and brings to the uneventful Emma's life much excitement.

Recommended.

It is always a good sign when the book you're reading makes you laugh out loud. "Can You Keep a Secret" definitely had me laughing out loud in more than a few places. However, it also had me groaning about the stupidity of the main character a few times as well.

Overall, I liked the story. There's something funny about spilling your guts and all the little life secrets you have to a total stranger on the plane. Until that is, that stranger happens to be the CEO of your company. Such is the story of Emma and Jack.

While the book is more than a little predictable, I still had fun. It made me laugh more times that any other book I've read this year (and that's something).

If you need a light-hearted book that you can read to brighten your day (or a plane ride of your own), then definitely check out "Can You Keep a Secret". If nothing else, it will help you keep your secrets in tact.

Cute, very cute. This was my first Kinsella book and it was interesting and very funny at times. Very real reactions from the main characters at times so its easy to identify with them. You'll enjoy it.

This book was so cute and funny. There were so many times that I would be laughing out loud. My fiance kept looking at me funny because I was laughing, then he started inquiring about the book. He even wanted to know what was happening! Very funny story.

This book has its moments and I finished it one day however it falls flat for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the Shopaholic series but I can't say the same for this book. The heroine is quite naive and sweet, almost annoyingly so, but she's not as endearingly spunky as Becky Bloomwood. Having read several books from the same author, I can see that she has certain stock characters she uses over again such as the smarter roommate who is also the best friend, the parents who fret over their daughter's career/love life, the bitchy acquaintances, etc. In fact, the plot of this book is similar to the Shopholic books and therefore somewhat predictable

(SPOILER) The two main characters, Emma and Jack, are not well developed at all. They have only two dates, both of which don't go well, and they supposedly fall head over heels in love with each other! It was too much to accept. It wasn't believable especially given that Jack barely reveals anything about himself to Emma. He has a secret and when he finally reveals his secret it's really nothing much at all - quite underwhelming in fact, hardly anything that would necessitate all the secret phone calls and other oddities in his behavior.

Every now and again, ya gotta read a book that takes up your time without making you think too hard. Enter this book -- absolutely nothing but fluff and very easy to read, and exactly what you want to read when you're waiting anywhere. You can get distracted a gazillion times, and always remember what is going on in the story. Very cute and fun book to read.

I was really disappointed with this book after all the rave reviews it has received. Not really that funny, the romance was weak, and the main character was annoying. There are much better books out there, this is a waste of time and paper.

Cute story that made me laugh out loud.

this is a great read very funny.

Good book- it kept you interested

This was the first time I read Sophie Kinsella and I enjoyed it. It was definitly light reading but very enjoyable. I really liked Emma and Jack and it was a very cute and entertaining story.

Can You Keep a Secret is a fun, quick read. While on a turbulent flight, Emma confides all her deepest secrets to the handsome stranger in the next seat. She thinks she'll never see the stranger again. That's until she shows up to work on Monday only to discover he owns the company! Embarrassment, confusion and romance all follow.

So much fun! I can imagine this as a fun chick-flick movie!

LOVE LOVE LOVED this book! Really funny!

One of my favorite books! Sophie Kinsella has a great style of writing and adds great humor to her characters! I would love to see this made into a movie.

Entertaining

My first Sophia Kinsella read. Very cute and engaging. I look forward to reading more.

My first book by this author. Typical chick lit: cute and endearing characters, easy read.
