Summary: Good....not great
Review: Throughtout "Can You Keep a Secret" I kept longing for Becky Bloomwood and her frazzled albeit funny life. "Secret" is a fast read, and I very much enjoy Kinsella's writing style. However, there just wasn't a real spark to keep me interested. In other words, it took me a long weekend to finish rather than simply a day devouring each page. I would recommend people iffy about this to wait for paperback.

Summary: Promise you won't tell!
Review: Readers who've been enchanted by the Becky Bloomwood character of Sophie Kinsella's SHOPAHOLIC series will not be disappointed by CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?Emma Corrigan is a Junior Marketing Assistant in the London HQ of Panther Corporation, which makes, among other things, Panther Cola and Panther Bars. Sent solo to Glasgow to conclude the formalities of a marketing alliance with Glen Oil, thought to be a sure thing, the deal suddenly falls apart. Attempting to salvage the agreement, Emma spills a can of Panther Cola all over the shirt of a Glen Oil VIP. Distraught, Emma boards a plane for the flight back to London - and she's afraid of flying. Unusually strong air turbulence makes the flight terrifying. Her tongue loosened by the certainty of impending death, Emma blabs all her personal secrets to her seatmate, a reserved American. As a matter of fact, she spills her guts: her relationship with her boyfriend, girl roomies, family, and co-workers, and the details of her sex life, her underwear, and the little lie she put on her Panther Corp job application. You get the picture. Absolutely everything, including the fact that she accidentally killed her parents' pet goldfish and substituted a look-alike. The following Monday, the quiet Yank shows up at Panther Corporation. As it turns out, he's multimillionaire Jack Harper, the company CEO and one of its co-founders, who's making a tour of his European offices. Corrigan's life will never be the same. But Jack has a secret also. Except that Emma doesn't have Becky's relentlessly spendthrift habits, the two are soul sisters. Both are young, naive, just a little ditzy, otherwise intelligent, pretty, generous, charming, kind-hearted, and with a propensity for infinite self-deception. Both are incredibly endearing despite their faults. Author Sophie Kinsella is a genius at creating absurd situations from which her heroines must extricate themselves. Her books are gems in the genre of Humor. As I read CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET on the train to work, fellow travelers must have looked at me strangely as I occasionally giggled. This is light reading with a capital "L", but I heartily recommend it.

Summary: Entertaining, Funny
Review: Not as good as the shopaholic series but still a fun read. I laughed out loud a times, very witty. I think the romance and how it came about was a bit farfetched. But still, a fun, enjoyable read.

Summary: good just something missing
Review: "Can You Keep a Secret?" I'll grant you it was a fast read, but there was something missing. Chick Lit or Contemporary fiction it is suppose to be a romance. I loved Jack Harper though I couldn't buy him remembering everything Emma liked or disliked. I just wish Ms Kinsella wasn't afraid to write the love scenes. In one scene you get to the bedroom Jack locks the door, drags Emma to the floor and zip. This isn't the 1970's (...) I don't know about anyone else and can only speak for myself, but I'm glad this was a library book because I would have been miffed if I had shelled out $21.95 for this hard cover. We watched Emma's character grow and stand up for herself and Ms Kinsella made her usurper cousin nasty. I couldn't wait until Emma gave her the truth. I would love to see a sequel because Jack has some making up to do. Its just I was waiting for the love scene to progress. Please, please, please continue to write but since I live vicariously through romances, I need the love scenes. I think Emma and Jack could really set the company on fire especially with grandpa's help.

Summary: Quick and fun read!
Review: This book was very entertaining! Emma was an endearing character-if a bit silly at times. I loved the character of Jack Harper and how he drove Emma crazy with just a raise of an eyebrow or a look! I can easily see this book becoming a movie.

Summary: Not what I was waiting for!
Review: I have to say, I was a bit let down by this book. I am a huge fan of Ms. Kinsella's Shopaholic series, and I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy of this. I made my husband drive me to a bookstore while were on vacation, so I could get this book the day it came out. I have to admit, if I wasn't an insomniac, I may not have finished it, but it is an easy read, so I was able to polish it off in a couple of nights. Now, for the part about why I didn't like it. This kind of book is not deep, so I wasn't expecting that, however, I was hoping to connect with the character, or even the story, and I didn't do either. Sort of amusing, and I'm sorry to say, sort of boring. Sorry Ms. Kinsella! If you havn't rushed out to buy this, borrow a copy or wait for paper. This book won't stop me trying her next one, but I just didn't think it was up to the Shopoholic books. Next time!

Summary: a fun vacation read
Review: I read Can You Keep a Secret in about one day, and I really enjoyed it. I found Emma to be a good character- one that I actually enjoyed more than Becky from the Shopaholic series. Becky always made me cringe because of her actions (I can't watch movies like that either), but Emma had a good, solid head on her. I laughed out loud at Emma's actions, and really empathized with her, whereas I always wanted to sit Becky down and give her a good talking to. The plot was a tad predictable, but so were all the Shopoholic books, and that didn't stop me either! I really enjoy British chic-lit (it's my guilty pleasure), and I hope that Sophie Kinsella keeps writing fun books with engaging characters.
