Emma is like every girl in the world. She has a few little secrets.

Secrets from her mother:
1. I lost my virginity in the spare bedroom to Danny Nussbaum while Mom and Dad were downstairs watching TV.

… From her boyfriend:
2. I'm a size twelve. Not a size eight, like Connor thinks.
3. I've always thought Connor looks a bit like Ken. As in Barbie and Ken.

… From her colleagues:
4. When Artemis really annoys me (which is pretty much every day), I feed her plant orange juice.
5. It was me who jammed the copier that time. In fact, all the times.

…Secrets she wouldn't share with anyone in the world:
6. My G string is hurting me.
7. I faked my Maths GCSE grade on my CV.
8. I have no idea what NATO stands for. Or even what it is…

…until she spills them all to a handsome stranger on a plane. After all, she'll never see him again.

But on Monday morning, Emma's office is abuzz about the arrival of Jack Harper, the company's elusive CEO. Suddenly Emma is face-to-face with the stranger from the plane, a man who knows every single humiliating detail about her.

Things couldn't possibly get worse... Until they do.

It was a fun book. It was very relatable. Not your typical rom com. I love the narrator.

It is unexpectedly good

I listen to this in Audible and it is a little cheesy but entertaining. The narrator did a fantastic job!

Liked the characters. Disliked the helpless female and nonsensical decisions. Hopefully Emma might mature in the next book.

Chaotic boy meets girl.

Loved the story and the narrator did a fabulous job! I laughed so many times on my walk, and people most likely thought I was crazy! It’s a book for you when you want to get away from all the noises and ugly things that are happening in life. Thumbs up!

So true!!

I enjoy Kinsella’s books, but after reading a few of them, I feel her lead characters are practically interchangeable. They’re all attractive young single females, predisposed to being kind, vulnerable, and a bit goofy. They all have difficulties in their careers and romantic relationships.

Fate, often with an assist from themselves, will drop them into a set of circumstances that will tumble comically out of control. And that’s why I enjoy Kinsella’s books; her deft creations of daffy situations and her protagonist’s responses.

In “Secret”, Emma, after several failed careers, is still grappling with her career. She’s mostly driven by wanting to impress her parents and surpass her conniving stepsister. Emma’s been dishonest with herself and others, but during a bout of severe turbulence on a plane, she spills a lifetime of secrets to a handsome stranger seated next to her. The stranger turns out to be the owner of the company she works for. His involvement with Emma triggers a falling of facades and a forced reevaluation of her self.

Typical fun

If you’ve not tried an audio book yet, THIS one on audio will have you hooked. Can You Keep a Secret, is a great audio book and was so much fun to listen to. The narrator so perfectly performed as Emma and I found myself frequently laughing out loud. It was an endearing story craftily written by Sophie Kinsella, that was brought to life by the excellent narration of Rebecca Humphries.

A Must Listen!

I want to like this book as I have enjoyed Sophie Kinsella’s work in the past. But this was just… bad. The story just went on and on, and Emma and Jack as characters were just so annoying. The performance was so awful I almost gave up after the second chapter. And I would have if I hadn’t paid for the Audible book. I started fast forwarding to get to the end. Complete disappointment.

I wanted to like this so much

This is one of my top comfort reads. The level of my horrible disappointment when listening to this narration is far worse than anything imaginable 😭. Save yourself and listen to a different version.

Horrible narrator
