Can You Keep A Secret?

by Sophie Kinsella
Read by: Emily Gray

March 1, 2005 | Audio Book (CD)

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 from
the plane, a man who knows every single humiliating detail about her. Things couldn't possibly get worse-Until they do.

    Im a fan of sophie kinsella and love most of her books (especially the shopaholic series) but this was by far my favourite book shes written. it had me actually laughing out loud at parts. the characters were so well written, especially the main one who was so smart and witty. i couldnt put this book down. it is a must read.

    Definitely one of Kinsella's best. Love the drama of this book and the wondering if he will drop her secrets all throughout their romance. Definitely Something i would recommend

    Absolutely Hilarious

    I'm not a fan of Sophie Kinsella, but this book really surprised me. I am so glad I picked this up. It was such a clever, and funny, and very loveable book. The characters are so wonderful, and there is never a dull bit.

    On a side note, I must say that I absolutely hate the cover. I find it very unattractive, and old looking. Don't judge a book by it's cover, right? But maybe that's why I didn't pick it up earlier.

    I'm so glad Kinsella has gotten onto writing more stories than the Shopaholic series. I loved the first Shopaholic... but felt the other books were just bad repeats. But Can You Keep a Secret was amazing... The characters were lovable... this is the perfect chic-lit novel for a quick read...
