Chick Lit Classics: Can You Keep A Secret? by Sophie Kinsella
Chick Lit Classics is a regular feature on Chick Lit Reviews where we highlight the books we feel are classics of the chick lit genre. Feel free to discuss our choices in the comments section!
This week I’ve picked another Kinsella novel for our Chick Lit Classic because, quite frankly, all of Kinsella’s novels are must-reads for Chick Lit fans! Can You Keep A Secret? was one of my earlier Kinsella reads and I was laughing out loud all the way through. Sure it’s probably predictable but it’s good predictable and the ride is very much worth it. It would make a fantastic film and if you haven’t read it, I urge you to do so!
Emma is like every girl in the world. She has a few little secrets. Secrets from her mother: 1.I lost my virginity in the spare bedroom to Danny Nussbaum while Mum and Dad were downstairs watching Ben Hur. …From her boyfriend: 2. I’m a size twelve. Not a size eight, like Connor thinks. 3. I’ve always thought Connor looks a bit like Ken. As in Barbie and Ken. …From her colleagues: 4. When Artemis really annoys me, I feed her plant orange juice. (Which is pretty much every day) 5. It was me who jammed the copier that time. In fact, all the times. …Secrets she wouldn’t share with anyone in the world: 6. My G string is hurting me. 7. I faked my Maths GCSE grade on my CV. 8. I have no idea what NATO stands for. Or even what it is… …until she spills them all to a stranger on a plane. At least, she thought he was a stranger…

Yep, I loved this one too. My first Sophie Kinsella. I also loved The Undomestic Goddess but her Shopaholic series is getting old.
