Thoughts:
By god, does Kinsella write her men sexy. I'm a little hesitant to like her women because they all fall on the ditsy side, but damn does she have her men down pat.

This has some genuinely laugh out loud moments, but the romance was fade to black and very weak on real chemistry. The heroine was pitiful to a degree that made me sad in some parts of the book. Really didn't quite come together for me in spite of some really good laughs.

A nice little summer read. A confection of a book. Won't make you think too much.

I am a huge Sophie Kinsella fan and I loved this book. It was fun, light-hearted, and easy to read. Honestly, sometimes I feel like Emma feels; like I can do nothing right and like I get compared to my siblings who are much more successful than I am. I highly recommend this book.

Can You Keep a Secret? es un libro que trata sobre Emma Corrigan, una joven con un gran corazón y muchos secretos. Secretos de su novio. No cosas de interés nacional o algo sino algo mas personal. Secretos personales que nadie debería saber. Secretos que no se deberían compartir. Hasta que en un momento de angustia, Emma le dice todos sus secretos a un extraño en un avión. Al menos, era un extraño hasta que Emma descubre que el extraño era nada mas ni nada menos que el dueño de la compañía donde trabaja, Jack Harper. Un hombre que sabe todos sus mas oscuros y vergonzosos secretos.
Este libro me parece sorprendente mente divertido. Sobre todo porque mientras la protagonista dice muchas mentiras y embustes, puede ser muy molesta pero también bastante simpática. Más: existe alguien que sabe la verdad. Y eso hace que hayan varias situaciones bastantes cómicas e incomodas para nuestra protagonista. De hecho, me reí muchísimo. Y también me da pena por la situación en casa de Emma, constantemente ser eclipsado por su prima debió ser duro.
Fue interesante ver cómo enfrento todos sus secretos ante todos sus conocidos, sobre todo porque ella guarda secretos para casi cualquier persona. También me gustó mucho el tema del libro. Y aprendí que todo lo que necesita para que la gente realmente sea especial para ti es ser tú mismo con ellos y vivir tu vida con honestidad, eso es todo.

Sophie Kinsella has the "summer read" genre nailed. I giggled repeatedly throughout this book. Is it predictable? Of course. Is it ridiculous? Of course. Worth reading for a laugh? Of course. :)
