Can You Keep a Secret?

It should come as no surprise that I enjoyed reading Can You Keep A Secret by Sophie Kinsella. I had previously read and loved The Undomestic Goddess, so I had high hopes for this novel. I was not disappointed. Can You Keep A Secret is a fast-paced, witty read that will keep you entertained from beginning to end.

The story follows the life of Emma Corrigan, a young woman who works in marketing for a failing airline. Emma is what you would call a “people pleaser.” She always puts others first and is always willing to go above and beyond to help out. Emma's life is turned upside down when she finds herself seated next to a handsome stranger on a plane that is about to crash. In a moment of panic, Emma tells the stranger, who she later learns is Jack Harper, all of her deepest, darkest secrets.

Somehow, against all odds, the plane manages to land safely. Emma is relieved but also mortified that she revealed so much about herself to a complete stranger. She's even more mortified when she discovers that Jack is the CEO of her company.

As their relationship develops, Emma begins to realize that she doesn't have to be a people pleaser. She can be her own person and do what she wants to do. With the help of Jack, Emma starts to learn to stand up for herself and to live her life the way she wants to.

Can You Keep A Secret is a delightful read that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a light-hearted, fun novel.
