Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella Book Summary

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Party Crasher and Love Your Life comes a novel with the same wicked humor, buoyant charm, and optimism as her beloved Shopaholic series.

“Sophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter.”—Jojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover

Meet Emma Corrigan, a young woman with a huge heart, an irrepressible spirit, and a few little secrets:
 
Secrets from her boyfriend: I’ve always thought Connor looks a bit like Ken. As in Barbie and Ken.
 
Secrets from her mother: I lost my virginity in the spare bedroom with Danny Nussbaum while Mum and Dad were downstairs watching Ben-Hur.
 
Secrets she wouldn’t share with anyone in the world: 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. At least, she thought he was a stranger. . . .
 
But come 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. Or could they?
 
Praise for Can You Keep a Secret?
 
“Venturing beyond Saks and Barney’s, the bestselling author of Confessions of a Shopaholic and Shopaholic Ties the Knot entertains readers with backstabbing office shenanigans, competition, scandal, love and sex. . . . Kinsella’s down-to-earth protagonist is sure to have readers sympathizing and doubled over in laughter.”—Publishers Weekly

“If laughing out loud in public places is your bag, be sure to pick up [Can You Keep a Secret?]. Heroine Emma Corrigan is going to be your new best friend.”—Boston Herald
 
“Kinsella’s timing is so perfect, her instincts so spot-on, that it’s easy to . . . devour the book like the guilty pleasure it is.”—Miami Herald

“Chick lit at its lightest and breeziest . . . filled with fabulous clothes, stalwart friends, and snotty enemies waiting to be taken down a peg.”—Orlando Sentinel

“[Kinsella’s] dialogue is sharp, even her minor characters are well drawn, and her parody of the marketing world is very funny.”—Washington Post Book World

“[A] comedic frenzy of ill-fated events . . . punchy . . . fast-moving.”—Rocky Mountain News

If your on the fence.... Don't read this book! I have read other books from this author and enjoyed them. But not this one!! I want my $ back! The main character Emma is a nit twit. She expected so many great things to be given to her without putting forth the work! Her family is awful to her other than her grandpa. Her boyfriend is like a Step-ford boyfriend... but she doesn't help the matter because she never speaks up or disagrees with him on anything! I kept reading for awhile, hoping it would get better. But it just didn't. Don't read this book. Read "Remember Me" instead.

Hilarious. This was the best book I ever read hands down. It was so funny and kept me engaged the entire book!

Fun read. Quick and fun read. I couldn’t put the book down.

Can’t put it down!. Excellent and easy read. Funny and thoughtful.

Absolutely beautiful!. I loved every moment of this book. The plot, the dialogue, the characters, the romance - everything was so well written!

This book was completely infuriatig. I won’t give this book 1 star, because the writing wasn’t terrible so I’ll give the author credit on that. However, everything about the plot and the characters made this book the worst book I’ve ever read, in that it absolutely infuriated me from start to finish. From the beginning, the main character is constantly being bullied and belittled by every other character. Just chapters and chapters of people being completely terrible human beings and then she gets some minor satisfaction and the reader is expected to be happy with that? Reading this book was an absolute pain in the neck and I would never recommend it to anyone who is hoping to have a good day, because this will surely ruin it.

Funny. Funny and entertaining until the last quarter. The last few chapters were very messy and almost painful to finish.

Funny and entertaining. Kinsella writes a good book- I caught myself laughing out loud several times. Emma is a great character and easy to relate to. I'm still waiting for my real-life Jack. Glad I bought this book! Good deal too

Great read! :). One of Sophie Kinsella's best books. Definitely a number 1 with The Undomestic Goddess in close 2nd!

Really enjoyed it. I "bought" the sample as my first iPad book, just to try it out. I was pleasantly surprised and wanted to read more so I bought the whole book. I thought it was very fun with an underlying good lesson about women being themselves. I am so lucky to have a husband who loves me for me and it's an unbelievable feeling. (he's the one who bought me the iPad, even though he knew he'd become an iPad widower :-)

Sweet. I can relate more than I care to share! Nice, sweet, funny... Enjoyed very much...

Good. Entertaining! Enjoyed reading it within 24 hrs. :)

Wonderful. It is such a wonderful book that I have found myself reading it again, a year later. Such a romantic and funny story.

Hilarious. Okay, this by far the looniest character I have ever read in a book. Emma...just funny and literally had me laughing out loud. Such a great book. Look forward to reading more from this writer.

Can you keep a secret. Loved, loved, loved this book! Similar to a situation I've been through.

The absolute FUNNIEST. This book might be the most entertaining thing I’ve read in a long time. Just laugh out loud, lay in bed giggling FUNNY. Emma is the best, Jack is the best. Sophie is the best. Highly recommend,

Question. I just purchased this book because I have enjoyed some of her other books. This was released in 2004 but yet updated in 2021. My question is what was updated? What was changed? I guess there was a movie out or is. But I see this a lot. Now I understand if an update is made within a year but 17 years later? The first thing that comes to mind is politics. Some authors seem like they cannot resist throwing in a personal opinion but making it appear that it is the characters opinion.

Brilliant. I love this book's candor. Emma - and all the characters - are so real. And, what is better than love? Another grand book by S.K.!

Great read!. Fun, light, easy read.

Hard to get into but then good. It was quite slow and dry initially and then the plot finally deepened and it became interesting.

Amazing. I couldn’t stop to read this book, its sooo much better than the movie

Absolutely fab!. I love, love this book! Brilliant!

Shallow but entertaining. I liked the first part, but for my taste it was shallow and lacked depth. I wanted a nice read but with some thought not that shallow. I respect all other reviews, I'm just talking about my taste.

Super dupe awesomeeeee!. Loved the book so much that I got hooked onto it! Would absolutely recommend it!

Hilarious. One of my favorite Sophie kinsella books. I LoLed many a-time

Great book. Couldn't put it down! Reads like movie script.

Cute romantic page turner. I really liked this book. Honestly couldn't put it down. Even though it was predictable I was always surprised at the outcome. With is was longer!! Def a good quick read to help the time pass!

Can You Keep a Secret?. Hysterical!!!

Secret. Absolutely loved it!!!

Funny!. This book had me laughing out loud on the train! I would love to see it made into a comedy film...definitely a great stress-relieving book!

AMAZING. Couldn't put it down. Always wanted to know what happens next. This book is utter genius!

Fun to read, ending not worth price. Fun to read, ending was just ok. Characters were drawn out and I felt myself sometimes just flipping through the pages to get over them faster. Not worth the price in my opinion but still real fun hence the 3 stars.

Cute but.... Unrealistic. The development between the two characters was cute at first then went straight to ridiculous. There was nothing there. I wish I could get my money back.

A great read!. I really enjoyed this book. Cute, quirky, and a quick read that I couldn't put down.

Absolutely RECOMMENDED! :))). I read the whole book in half a day. Seriously. :))) I downloaded the sample because this was the first time I'm reading a Sophie Kinsella book, and from the beginning I was definitely already hooked. Then I bought the whole book and I got so engrossed that I can't stop reading and flipping through the pages and before I knew it, I was already reading the end. This book is indeed a must read. Real great. Love it! :D

Fantastic read. Great story line. Character is like a familiar friend sharing with you.

Loved it!!. This was my first iBook and I couldn't have picked a better book. The story line kept me intrigued enough to read it in one day. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Can you keep a secret?. I really liked it!!Funny!

A must read.. Loooooved it, I finished it in 2 days. Between school, work, and a baby I made time for it because it was so amazing. Romantic, very funny, ironic, and exciting. Kept me on my toes in every page. Great book!

Loved. Fast funny read. Going to read more from her now :)

Cute and sweet. Cute book but not cheesy romantic. One of the better romantic comedies to keep you reading. Reminded me of Bridget Jones’ Diary.

Buy it. U wont regret it.. I dont remember a chapter where I didnt end up laughing. Its filled with great humour, a very realistic story that touches the heart with a romance that creates a movie in ur head as u read. Looking for an easy read and wanting to keep u entertained? THIS IS THE BOOK FOR U!

Couldn't put it down!. I thought the way Sophie portrayed the main characters thoughts was so entertaining! I couldn't stop reading and couldn't wait to see what would happen next!

Love it!. It was such a great read! At one point I'm laughing the next I'm wanting to cry. It was the perfect blend for a romance as soon as I started it I couldn't put it down. I definitely recommend to anyone who loves a great read!

Promising but not sustainable plot.. The story caught my attention at the very beginning with a powerful attention catcher: meeting a perfect stranger on a plane. Unfortunately, Emma’s internal dialogue is too dense and interests starts fading. At times boring. Spoiler alert: I thought the crisis/reconciliation she had with her family could have described more personal growth on her. Finally, the friend (or I should say psycho enemy) Jemima is worst than the syrup and handled with not too much balance to what she does and how Emma reacts. Too much weight on how psycho she is with a too much simple outcome. Entertaining, though. I like how she writes.

Can you keep a secret?. There were so many times I literally laughed out loud! Hilarious book that keeps you on the edge of your seat wanting more all the way through!

Enjoyed it very much!. I couldn't help but pick up this book any chance I got! Loved it :)

Awesome Story. This story was just great. I enjoyed every minute of it.

LOL funny. This is in my top 25 reads. This book was hilarious!

Oh my goodness. This is book is griping! It has you cracking up one minute and crying the next. Yes, I will admit I cried while reading this. Emma truly thinks and speaks as a real person would, flawed and all, instead of the usual perfected character in most novels. I could relate with Emma; I felt everything she felt and was along for the emotional ride the whole way through.
