Can You Keep a Secret?

This is one of the funniest book I've ever read. It was a nice, light read with a good amount of humor. The plot is rather simple, but it was developed nicely and flows naturally. Nothing in the story feels forced or unnatural. Sometimes it made me laugh, the other times it made me wanna cry with Emma. Sophie Kinsella is really good at drawing the readers' emotions as the story goes on.

Emma is a very realistic protagonist. I can totally relate to her, understanding her way of thinking easily. Just like what she said, she could be a deluded moron sometimes, but I find most of her reactions (and delusions) amusing. Couldn't help but think that it's quite a string of bad luck she had though, looking at all the mess happening to her one after another. It's nice to see that she could finally say what she truly feels to her family though. :)

The idea of romance with someone whom she initially thought is a stranger strikes me as romantic. When Emma blurted out all of her secrets to a man sitting next to her in the plane, she didn't know that he's actually her big boss. She also had no clue that he'd change her life forever. I think that's exactly how ‘fate' works, just like what Emma herself thought in the book.
