Publisher Description

SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sophie Kinsella, a novel with the same wicked humor, buoyant charm, and optimism as her beloved Shopaholic series.

 

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. . . .

 

But come Monday morning, Emma’s office is abuzz about the arrival of Jack Harper, the company’s elusive CEO.  Suddenly Emma is face-to-face with the stranger from the plane, a man who knows every single humiliating detail about her. Things couldn’t possibly get worse. Or could they?

"It's been a while since the last time I read this book - but I'm definitely a sucker for chick-lit. This book is cute, and equally as satisfying as a good rom-com! I would recommend it for a fun, light read, or as a good choice to take with you on vacation!"
