Can You Keep a Secret?

by Sophie Kinsella

Can You Keep a Secret? Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.

Ive 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 wouldnt 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, Emmas office is abuzz about the arrival of Jack Harper, the companys elusive CEO. Suddenly Emma is face-to-face with the stranger from

the plane, a man who knows every single humiliating detail about her. Things couldnt possibly get worseUntil they do.

Review:

"Backstabbing office shenanigans, competition, scandal, love and sex....Kinsella's down-to-earth protagonist is sure to have readers sympathizing and doubled over in laughter." Publishers Weekly

Review:

"Kinsella has another irresistible hit on her hands." Booklist

Review:

"Kinsella succeeds on her own terms: Her dialogue is sharp, even her minor characters are well drawn, and her parody of the marketing world is very funny." Washington Post Book World

Synopsis:

Already scooped up for a major motion picture by Paramount — produced by and starring Kate Hudson — this #1 UK bestseller is by the author of the popular Shopaholic trilogy and offers readers a brand-new heroine to love.
