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.

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.

Easy listening

This book is very easy to listen too. It was a easy to follow story with good humour throughout. Although a predictable story it was compelling to listen too. A lighthearted book that is amusing and fun. Would recommend it to anyone wanting a feel good factor with some laughs.

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.

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.

Loved it and couldn't stop listening

The narrator was perfect as Emma. One of Sophie's best stories. Funny, romantic, all the feels!

NOT unabridged (still great book)

I love this book and completely recommend it; I've read it heaps of times, which is why I could tell some parts were missing in this audiobook version. For example: all references to the former office assistant whose role Emma fears she is assuming, and the conversation between Sven and Emma where Sven tries to convince her to change her mind about Jack. It has been a few years since I last read it, so there are probablt a few more missing items that I didn't notice.

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

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 😁
