Can You Keep A Secret? By Sophie Kinsella

 From the back cover:

Meet Emma Corrigan, a young woman with a huge heart, an irrepressible spirit, and a few little secrets: 
Secrets from her boyfriend: I’ve always thought Connor looks a bit like Ken. As in Barbie and Ken. Secrets from her mother: I lost my virginity in the spare bedroom with Danny Nussbaum while Mum and Dad were downstairs watching Ben-Hur. 
Secrets she wouldn’t share with anyone in the world: I have no idea what NATO stands for. Or even what it is. 
Until she spills them all to a handsome stranger on a plane. At least, she thought he was a stranger.…Until Emma comes face-to-face with Jack Harper, the company’s elusive CEO, a man who knows every single humiliating detail about her...

This was just another chick lit book, but with some very funny moments, that had me literally laughing out loud!!
It is basically about all the secrets & insecurities that Emma has, and how she deals with them, when they are revealed first to one stranger on a plane, and later on to nearly everybody she knows!

In some ways I found Emma to be a lot like Becky from the Shopaholic series, her at times ditzy behavior, and how she handles embarrassing situations, etc.
But, I liked the book for its simplicity, it does not go over-the-top with any characters, and the situations the protagonist finds herself in are totally believable. Really! I mean, who says a chance meeting with some guy on a plane wont lead to a relationship with a multi-millionaire!!!
 
A light, fun book & definite re-read this book in the future.

Some quotes:

“Relationships are a battle. They are a chess game. And what did I do? I just threw all my chess pieces down on the board at once, and said, "Here! Have them all!” 

“If you can't be honest with your friends and colleagues and loved ones, then what is life all about?”  

“The truth is, some relationships are supposed to last forever, and some are only supposed to last a few days. That’s the way life is.”
