Book of the day: “Can you keep a secret?” By: Sophie Kinsella

I wanted something light to read, something that isn’t complicated or needs an over thinking. Something…. what word fits the topic properly... Witty? , yes .. Something witty, fun and enjoyable. I normally step away from covers that look so daman girly! but this book was fun to read. “How Embarrassing!” and “Please don’t let it come true!” are probably things that you are going to say while reading Kinsella amusing novel.

Everyone has secrets, not that huge probably, but those little humiliating secrets that you always wish that no one knows about, except of course if it was a stranger, someone that you are never going to meet again... at least that’s what Emma Corrigan thought! A twenty-something years old girl who is determined to make something out of herself, but it’s not that easy. After an embarrassing meeting, she heads back to London, but when the plane faces some clear-air turbulence she starts to freak out... spilling all of her secrets to the man next to her on the plane. Later however, she comes face to face with him.. a man who knows every single thing about her life!.


It is fairly easy to imagine the comical expressions on the characters faces because Kinsella’s writing style is so smooth to the extend that you feel like you are watching a romantic comedy movie. The only thing that confused me about the novel is the fact that Emma found that not knowing what “NATO” stands for was embarrassing. Alright people, I never knew what NATO was until reading the novel and looking it up! “An international organization for peace and defense”. BIG DEAL! :P

3.5/5
