Can you Keep A Secret? - Sophie Kinsella

After just spending a considerable amount of money on some Sophie Kinsella books for my sister's birthday, I realised that I had not reviewed one or two of my favourite books by this author. From the first moment I picked up one of Sophie Kinsella books, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the book and quickly went onto read more. ======= The Plot ======= The book follows Emma Corrigan, a 25 year old girl who has a boring mundane job. She wants a better job within the company and when she goes to Scotland to promote the product to another company, the meeting goes horribly wrong and she thinks her life is over. On the way ...  Read the complete review

The other day I was in my local PDSA (vets for pets) shop searching for a bargain when I came across the books , which were all stacked neatly on a couple of dust-free shelves. As I quickly skimmed through the titles , my eyes were snatched by a lilac cover with a picture of a girl standing in a snow globe , standing with her back to the reader and crossing her fingers behind her back, surrounded by silver stars in the globe. The title read "Can You Keep A Secret ? ". "Ooh, wonder what this is about ?" I say to my friend who is also a keen reader. Curiously I wonder what type of secret is the book about ? I'm desperate to know. So without hesitation I ...  Read the complete review

Needing something lighter to read in-between horror stories of flesh eating rats and serial killers, I was pleased when this novel landed on the doormat from my book-swapping site. I had been pondering over reading Sophie Kinsella for a while, as she had been reviewed positively and the story lines had captured my interest. Emma Corrigan, is a marketing junior for Panther Cola.

This is a fantastic book. There are so many great reviews about what the book is about, I'm not going to go too in depth about the plot and storyline, I'm just going to explain why I think this book is fantastic! The book is so true to every modern woman out there. We all have secrets, and as the leading lady Emma Corrigan points out, they aren't massive HUGE secrets like the meaning of life. They're just ordinary, little secrets. Some of hers include: not being a size 8 (like her boyfriend Connor thinks) but being a size 12, she thinks Connor is too good-looking, almost like a Ken doll, she lost her virginity in the upstairs spare room while her parents were ...  Read the complete review

This book’s a goodie. I was more than chuffed when my friend from work lent this to me. I’d planned on buying it anyway as I’m a big fan of Sophie Kinsella’s but even better was a freebie read! Sophie has written four other books, The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic, Shopaholic Abroad, Shopaholic Ties the Knot and Shopaholic and Sister which all follow on from each other. I’ve read all of those books and really enjoyed them so I was pretty sure this wouldn’t disappoint me. And it didn’t. This book has a pretty lilac coloured cover with the title in big pink writing. It was bought in WHSmith as a 3 for 2 offer a while back and the RRP is £6.99. On ...  Read the complete review
