About this deal

I mean, G-strings are never that comfortable at the best of times, in my opinion, but these are particularly bad. Authoress Madeleine Sophie Townley, or more familiar to readers by her pen name Sophie Kinsella, was born on the 12 th of December, 1969, in London, England, the United Kingdom. Emma hopes Jack will forget all about her, but he seems bent on getting to know her, first forcing her to admit she deserves better than her boring boyfriend Conor, then convincing her that he is a better choice.

Another welcome touch is that Emma’s boyfriend isn’t a complete rotter like so many of boyfriends in Chick Lit. Add this aptly titled piffle to the ranks of pink-covered girl-centric fiction that has come sailing out of England over the last two years. So, naturally enough, she starts telling the man sitting next to her – quite a gorgeous American, but she’s too frightened to notice – all her innermost secrets. I didn't hate Lachlan 'Colby' like I think many others did, he was just a normal kind of young guy (that loves wheeling and dealing and working hard) ending up in a situation he probably shouldn't have been in, while keeping an eye out for Caitlin. There are a number of really interesting themes in this book but I had some trouble getting into it.When the animal is changed to a panda, though, the "Don't pause" slogan doesn't make as much sense, especially since Can You Keep A Secret? From then on, whenever they happen to cross each other’s paths, and this happens very, very often now, Jack always teases Emma with quips about the secrets that she relayed to him. I loved the way he toyed with Emma, letting her know in not too subtle ways that he remembered her secrets one after another, and letting her worry that there would be consequences. I lost my virginity in the spare bedroom with Danny Nussbaum, while Mum and Dad were downstairs watching Ben Hur.

Through it all, however, Emma and Jack’s romance deepens and it works up to such a satisfying climax. When I arrived, the Glen Oil marketing guys started on this long, show-offy ‘who’s-travelled-the-most? If you’re also looking for something a little different to add to your reading catalog, I recommend, Can You Keep a Secret? You know, it occurred to me as I was a few pages into this one, enjoying it, that it’s odd I don’t read more books of this kind.

Now, being that she is single, Emma doesn’t have many excuses to give to Jack so the two of them start dating. We went 5-STAR CRAZY for this book, and now we can get it with this new cover, a ten years after epilogue and all sorts of cool extras! I looked up ‘Appraisals’ in the staff induction book, and it said they are ‘an ideal opportunity to discuss possibilities for career advancement’. Anyone who has ever experienced any of this author’s other novels will recognize a formula, but what is discussed above is only part of what makes it work—and Kinsella engages that magic repeatedly.

This book made me realise that everyone has secrets – some people may have big, deep, dark secrets whereas others may have much smaller ones. She knows how to create charming characters whose actions are believable and relatable, never recycling phrases or mishaps, and brings us back to her themes with subtly and brilliantly woven scenarios. The meeting is to finalize a promotional arrangement between the new cranberry-flavoured Panther Prime sports drink and Glen Oil, and I flew up this morning from London, especially.Well, it just so happens that the following Monday, upon getting to work, Emma sees Jack at her job. Secrets from her mother: I lost my virginity in the spare bedroom while Mum and Dad were downstairs watching Ben-Hur. While they are in the air, the plane experiences an uncomfortable amount of turbulence so that Emma can’t ease her nerves anywhere but by drinking more vodka tonics than she can without becoming drunk. She won her first Walkley for a series of articles about a literary fraud, and her second for a series about the AWB oil for food scandal. Many of the things that make Emma feel helpless are the same everyday things that would grind anyone down.
