Review:
I found this book on the Nook deals page and loved the sound of it. I've read Sophie Kinsella before---I loved Remember Me---and devoured this book in a day. Who doesn't keep secrets? The idea of sharing all of your secrets with a stranger, and then having that stranger be the CEO of your company, was so appalling that I knew I had to read Can You Keep a Secret? as soon as I read the summary.
I liked Emma right from the start. She is so believably flawed and likeable. I loved her view on the world. She reminded me of Bridget Jones. I loved her accent---I could literally hear it in my head as I read the dialogue. Emma's relationship with Jack was so much fun to read about. The slow build of their mutual attraction was very well done and I was rooting for them to make it as a couple.
The ending was a little predictable, but that did not lessen my enjoyment. I loved Can You Keep a Secret? and plan to pick up another Sophie Kinsella book when I need a fast, light-hearted, and fun read.
