Publisher's Summary

Nervous flyer Emma is sitting on a turbulent plane. She really thinks that this could be her last moment. So she starts telling the man sitting next to her all her innermost secrets: How she scans the backs of intellectual books and pretends she's read them. How she's not sure if she has a G-Spot. How she feels like a fraud at work. How she once threw a troublesome client file in the bin. If ever there was a bare soul, it's hers. She survives the flight, of course, and the next morning the famous boss of the whole mega corporation she works for is coming for a look at the UK branch. As he walks around, Emma looks up and realises ­ it's the man from the plane.

Very childish

Nope... couldn’t stand it! Returned it the same night. At 46 I’m clearly too old for this immature book. I would say that the target audience is definitely under 25. The narrator was most annoying and had this high pitched girlish voice and added lots of extra breathes like a young child does. Thankfully I gave up listening an hour in.

Funny

I listened to most of this book with either a smile on my face or a chuckle in the back of my throat.
This is a cute story chock full of laugh out loud moments and brilliantly narrated by the talented Gracie Thomas.
I'll definitely read this one again 😁

Funny, easy listen.

I really enjoyed this book. As a previous post said it’s a Bridget Jones style of story. Quite a few laugh out loud moments. An easy listen.

Fans of Bridget Jones will love this book

I purchased it, not expecting very much - a lighter, fun read. However, I ended up not being able to stop listening. The story is pretty much a Bridget Jones type of story. Very funny. You can connect with each character and the narrative moves along very nicely…and she does a fantastic Jack voice, very smooth and dreamy.

Cute Book!

Definitely a light hearted rom-comm! Much rather the book than the movie. It's probably a book you would want to read for a bit of a laugh. Characters arnt deep or complex so would recommend if you wanted something light and cute.

Cringe

Disappointing. I usually like Sophie Kinsella’s work but it is so hard to have any respect for her main character in this book that it makes it difficult to enjoy the story.

Chick-lit face.

Love sophie kinsella! I have the hard copy of this book. It took a few minutes to get used to Graces voice (Aussie over here), but I quickly got used to her accent and disappeared into the story.

Laugh out loud and reflect value

What a joy to have a happy book that still reflects some punchy themes about the world we live in, its values and the art of secrecy v privacy in a digital age. The author has a wonderful mastery of emotional landscapes together with comic timing.
Great narrator. Enjoy

Can YOU keep a secret?

This book had me on the edge of my seat with tears in my eyes as I laughed at her antics. Sophie writes amazing books and this is another definate go to in my collection.
