I went into this book not knowing what to expect. This is my second novel from Sophie Kinsella and I loved it! I will be reading all her books. The first book I read from her is "Remember Me?" and I really liked it. I heard such good things about her writing and I can see what she is so popular. This book was so exciting and I never got bored reading it. Sophie has this writing talent that gets you into the book from the very first page. I just love her writing. She writes in first person which is my favorite! Her books are also funny. Anyway let's get on with the review shall we?

The Plot:(From back of the book)

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?

This book is a lot better than what it seems. Sophie does a great job with her original storylines. Her books are so funny!

Emma is in her twenties and works at a business place for Panther Products. She is only a assistant and keeps asking her boss to give her a promotion. She is a really nice woman who has some bad luck. The problem is she lies to everyone. She has a bunch of secrets she never told anyone, and isn't planning to tell anyone. She has a good relationship with her boyfriend, Connor and plans to move in with him. That all changes once she goes on a plane. She has a fear of planes. When there is a turbulent problem, Emma thinks she is going to die. She tells the guy next to her, everything about her, including all her private secrets that no one can know about. After that, the guy comes to her office. His name is Jack Harper and he is the boss of the whole company. Everyone tries to stay on his good side, and Emma is scared that Jack will tell everyone her secrets. She ends up breaking up with Connor because she's not happy with their relationship and she lied to him about lots of things. Her and Jack end up being attracted to each other and they start to date. Emma is a happy girl in love with her boss until he spills all her secrets on television during an interview. Everyone in the world and at the company watches the interview. They all tease Emma and she is humiliated. Her best friend Lissy, helps her. Emma starts to hate Jack but then they end up together again.
This book was so good! It was an easy read and the pacing was good. I liked Connor. I liked Jack, but why did he tell the world all her secrets! Emma never told anyone his secret. I liked Lissy. She was a good friend and a good role model. I thought Jemima was okay. At first I didn't really like her, but she can be cool when she wants to be. I really liked the romance. I was bothered at all and I was happy for Emma. Did I mention how much I loved Emma? She was such a great character. She made a lot of mistakes and I can relate to her. She also has bad luck like me. She wasn't very confident but she was so funny and cool so I loved her! She has a good heart and cares about people. I really, really liked her. She was also outgoing and fun. I would want to be friends with her in real life. This book was really amazing! I love Sophie Kinsella so much! I will be reading her other books next, because I am in the mood to read all her books! This book did not disappoint me! I recommend everyone to buy this book now! Don't just borrow it from the library, it's worth a buy! Buy it now, and I promise you won't be disappointed. That's my review and stay tuned for more. See ya!
