Book Description:
With the same wicked humor, buoyant charm, and optimism that have made her Shopaholic novels beloved international bestsellers, Sophie Kinsella delivers a hilarious new novel and an unforgettable new character. Meet Emma Corrigan, a young woman with a huge heart, an irrepressible spirit, and a few little secrets:
Secrets from her mother:
I lost my virginity in the spare bedroom with Danny Nussbaum while Mum and Dad were downstairs watching Ben-Hur.
Sammy the goldfish in my parents' kitchen is not the same goldfish that Mum gave me to look after when she and Dad were in Egypt.
Secrets from her boyfriend:
I weigh one hundred and twenty-eight pounds. Not one eighteen, like Connor thinks.
I've always thought Connor looks a bit like Ken. As in Barbie and Ken.
From her colleagues:
When Artemis really annoys me, I feed her plant orange juice. (Which is pretty much every day.) It was me who jammed the copier that time. In fact, all the times.
Secrets she wouldn't share with anyone in the world:
My G-string is hurting me.
I have no idea what NATO stands for. Or even what it is.
Until she spills them all to a handsome stranger on a plane. At least, she thought he was a stranger.
But come Monday morning, Emma's office is abuzz about the arrival of Jack Harper, the company's elusive CEO. Suddenly Emma is face-to-face with the stranger fromthe plane, a man who knows every single humiliating detail about her. Things couldn't possibly get worse-Until they do.

This was a quick read! Sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone to find yourself. This is the second book I've read by Sophie Kinsella and I intend to read her others. I enjoyed it!

This is the cute tale of a girl who manages to say all the wrong things to a complete stranger only to find out that he is her new boss. A very quick fluff read.

Surprisingly, I could not put this book down. It was a fun and hilarious read. Although, I did not agree with all of the main characters actions and values; the way she was portrayed made it feel like I had known her a long time and there were moments when I felt quite empathetic toward this fictional character. I appreciated how real the character seemed. It was a great book, that I recommend!

I really, really enjoyed this book. I've read all of her books except for the newest one & I enjoyed this one the most. Very entertaining & likable characters. Am looking forward to reading her newest!!

This was a great quick read! I laughed out loud for pages at a time (and that's not something I usually do), and I had trouble putting it down to go to sleep. At times the plot seemed predictable, yet it kept me on my toes. There were a few points that seemed familiar, somehow, as though I had read it before (though I'm quite sure I haven't), which may contribute to part of the appeal in Kinsella's writing style. With such well-developed characters, and follow-up on details in the story line, her characters and stories are very real and easy to connect with. I will read more by this author.

This story was an easy read. It was histerical in some parts. It was also the first I read by this author. I can't wait to read all of her other books. Very good book!!!

While this a cute story it is not the best story. I found it hard to get over all the exclamation points in the book. I know the author needs to emphasize certain sentences but come on could there BE any more exclamation points in this book!

Another great Sophie Kinsella book. Her books are so much fun to read and this was no exception.
I really like the Arthur writes and this is no different. Funny and realistic from a girls point of view, light read but still a page turner.
The girl is on a plane and begins babbling to her seat neighbor because of nerves and a bit of social lubricant. This is just the beginning must read more because as it turns out the neighbor is the CEO of the company she works for...
I absolutely loved this book! The characters are fun and engaging, and you feel as though you are part of "their world". Excellent read!
I have read several of the Sophie Kinsella books. This one is just as cute and airy as the rest of her novels!! This is a great beach book!
Sarah C. (This book was a very fun read. I enjoyed every page and was provided with many good laughs. If you like laughs then this is the book for you.
Jamie L. (I dont normally read romances and picked this book up on a whim. From the very first page I was sucked in and couldnt stop reading, ended up neglecting the house work to live in the world of this book for the day. I actually cried at one point (something I havent done with a book in a long time) and caught my self smiling quite a bit. I highly reccomend this book for any normal "nothing-special girl" to quote the author. I really enjoyed this book!
Very entertaining. As well written as her "Shopoholic" series. I will read anything written by her.
Easy and quick read. I always wanted to know what happened next.
Gretchen V. (I loved this book. This is the first book I've read of hers. Love it, Love it, Love it. So much fun, a great way to get laughing out loud.
