Can You Keep a Secret?
Date undefinedThis was by far the funniest book I have ever read. I was laughing out loud throughout the whole book. I had read Kinsella's shopaholic series and decided to try her other books. I read this book in on sitting. I can't wait to finishing reading her other books.
Can You Keep a Secret?
Date undefinedMeet Emma....an average woman from London who is having a not-average day. Since the book has already been described here by other reviewers I'll explain why I gave it 3.5 stars.
Why I liked it:
I love humor in a book. I love all types of romance but I like it when a book makes me laugh. And Sophie kept my interest to the end. Lately, so many books I have read use the 'same-old, same-old' plots.
What I didn't like:
Sorry, I don't care for the *F* word. I just don't think it is necessary when I read a book. Once, well...twice, is it necessary, ...more,sorry you are losing me.... I also think Emma was just a bit too forgiving regarding Jemima and her co-workers.
But I enjoyed this book enough to try some of Sophie Kinsella's other titles.
Can You Keep a Secret?
Date undefinedAnother good one from Kinsella. Entertaining, slightly predictable but definitely a good book. I think we all have the feeling of "Ooops anytime now they are going to figure out am I big fraud" especially when it comes to being new at work. I'm also just like Emma, telling lies not to hurt anyone and then getting all wrapped up in it not knowing what is right and wrong.
A colleague of mine once said that reading these types of books is like eating a box of chocolate, it is just pure pleasure. It has got everything in it that you wish for in a good chic flick and will put a smile on your face all through it.
The book doesn't get 5 stars because it is not as good as "the Undomestic Goddess" which is sligthly better but "Can you keep a secret?" is still worth your time. It will make a perfect company on a beach, in a cabin or just on a lazy Sunday.
