Personal life Wickham lives in London with her husband, Henry Wickham whom she met in Oxford , the headmaster of a boys' preparatory school. They have been married for 17 years and have five children.

She is the sister of fellow writer, Gemma Townley. From Wikipedia. But I'm hoping I might stay put in this latest one for a while. Or maybe they think I'm J. And if I get into real trouble with my plot, I go out for a pizza with my husband.

We order a pitcher of Long Island Iced Tea and start talking—and basically keep drinking and talking till we've figured the glitch out. Never fails! My earliest, most impactful encounter with a book was when I was seven and awoke early on Christmas morning to find Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in my stocking. I had never been so excited by the sight of a book—and have possibly never been since! I switched on the light and read the whole thing before the rest of my family even woke up.

I think that's when my love affair with books began. Book Reviews Kinsella succeeds on her own terms: Her dialogue is sharp, even her minor characters are well drawn, and her parody of the marketing world is very funny Susan Coll - Washington Post Things are suddenly starting to look up for the hapless but optimistic Emma Corrigan.

She has kept her job at Panther Cola for nearly a year, has the perfect boyfriend and hopes for a promotion to marketing executive should her first opportunity to strut her stuff and land a business deal be successful. Unfortunately, things don't go quite as planned, and on her unusually turbulent return flight from a disappointing client meeting, in a terrified state, she confesses her innermost secrets to the good-looking stranger sitting beside her.

When she shows up at work the next morning, she is horrified to discover that her mystery man is none other than the revered and brilliant Jack Harper, American CEO of Panther Cola, on a weeklong visit to the company's U. Thus begins a series of chaotic, emotionally exhausting and funny episodes that thrust Emma, with her workaholic best friend, Lissy, and their awful flatmate Jemima, into a world of fairy tales, secrets and deceit.

Venturing beyond Saks and Barney's, the bestselling author of Confessions of a Shopaholic and Shopaholic Ties the Knot entertains readers with backstabbing office shenanigans, competition, scandal, love and sex.

Prior to Can You Keep a Secret? Emma begins dating a co-worker named Connor. Connor works in another division at Panther Cooperation. During the plane ride Emma realizes that she doesn't really have feelings for Connor anymore. Emma is in denial about this. She breaks up with him much later on. I personally found Connor to be annoying! Emma asks Connor to keep their break-up to himself for the time being. Seeing as they work together. Instead at a party while drunk announces their break-up.

Their office blames the whole situation on Emma as she is the one to dump him. And he doesn't even apologize!

It didn't help that the co-workers didn't bother to see it from Emma' point of view. Connor also tries multiple times to confront Emma about who she is dating. He acts like a martyr and always has a way of patronizing Emma. I also found him to be totally inconsiderate. To try and look professional during a staff meeting Connor shuts down Emma's point.

Just because Jack Harper was present. I honestly don't understand why Emma blamed herself for everything. Connor has a brain too. He can realize himself that not all women keep secrets.

As far as Emma's secrets go I didn't find them that bad. Some of them were really dumb while the others hilarious! What was troubling is how easy it was for Emma to lie. And she did so constantly. Emma did develop and started actually admitting the truth. She even started to stand up for herself!

Emma stood up to Kerry and Paul her boss. I especially liked how she handled Paul. And in the end it paid off as she got promoted. I really liked Emma and Jack's relationship! When Jack appears in at the Panther Cooperation, he spends quite a bit of time poking fun at Emma's secrets. It was honestly so assuming! Through their relationship they grew. Jack learned to become more open. And Emma learned to stand up for herself and be honest. They made a really good couple. Also Jack's actually American.

I didn't have any problems. Expect for Connor but I think it was well handled. And blissfully she broke up with him early enough. I highly recommend it. Feeling sad and lonely? Want to have a good laugh? You came to the right place after all!!! The most craziest looniest romance I ever come across!!!!

Absolutely love love love loved this book!!! The beginning, the plot, the characters, the connections, writing skills and the ending was excellent!!!!!!!

Of course I do. Everyone has a secret. It's completely normal. I'm sure I don't have any more than anybody else. I'm not talking about big, earth-shatteri Feeling sad and lonely? I'm not talking about big, earth-shattering secrets. Not the-president-is-planning-to-bomb-Japan-and-only-Will-Smith-can-save-the-world type secrets. Just normal, everyday little secrets. The beginning had me glued to the book and I solemnly swear that I've never laughed so hard laughed as in choked-on-my-food-tummy -aching-tears-spilling-snorting-laugh ,well at least not with every turning page.

The story was really really good and so was the movie!! My Kate Spade bag is a fake. I love sweet sherry, the least cool drink in the universe. I have no idea what NATO stands for.

I weigh 9 stone 3. Not 8 stone 3, like my boyfriend Connor thinks. Although in my defence, I was planning to go on a diet when I told him that. And to be fair, it is only one number different. I've always thought Connor looks a bit like Ken. Um, did I need any more reasons to carry on reading?? Emma Corrigan is a sweet, clumsy young woman with a biiiiiig heart and one day, her life dramatically changes.

On a flight back home, by an accident she spills all her secret to a hot ass stranger thinking they were going to die with a plane crash OMG I died I feel like Dorothy. A second ago I was swirling around in Oz, clicking my heels together, and now I've woken up all flat and quiet and normal again. I look at him as though for the first time — and it hits me. I've been blabbering non-stop for an hour to this complete stranger. God alone knows what I've been saying. I think I want to get off this plane right now.

I mean, I told him about my knickers. I told him about my G spot. This part had me laughing my ass off. Emma feels humiliated and thinks that she was going get fired from her job but fate has another plan for her. The both of them. I actually watched the movie before I ever read the book and I'm so glad that I did!! Jack was amazing. He was one of those sweet male characters who will have you swooning and melting. Emma was pretty great too! Her honesty and self love is really admirable, which makes them a really good pair.

Jack's mature loving personality goes well with Emma's clumsy fun one. This couple is so on my Top Ten Cutest Couples!!! The sweet love story of Jack and Emma, that will show you that someone somewhere in this world will always love you despite your flaws and clumsiness.

That someone out there loves you for the way you are, even if you are the most imperfect person in the world.

Buckle up fellas!!! To a embarrassing yet sweet journey that will make blush and laugh!!! Nov 25, Sophia rated it it was ok.

Can You Keep a Secret is possibly my favorite Kinsella standalone.

It follows the story of Emma, an ordinary, slightly ditzy girl think Anna from Anna and the French Kiss who accidentally spills all her secrets to a stranger on the plane. And that stranger later turns out to be her boss. In honor of this book—and because I absolutely suck at writing reviews for books I love, I am going to spill to you, strangers of the Internet, all of my secrets.

Okay, not all, but five. I used to be majorly obsessed with Seventeen magazine. Back then, I begged my parents numerous times over the dinner table to buy me a subscription all the savings! In hindsight, that was probably a good thing because I soon got tired of all the high-definition pages of clothes, shoes, and make-up. The real sustenance was located in the back and only covered pages. I'm proud to say that nowadays I blow my money on more worthy things, like badly-written YA novels that induce headaches.

That's a biggie. I'm a huge fan of Taylor Swift, even though liking her is an extremely uncool thing these days. Her lyrics are prose spun into music, that's all the reason I need. Then I make a pro-vs-con list in my head and all is right in the world once more. I love Kinsella's work. A lot of people hate them and I get it.

Her heroines are essentially recycled book to book. The love interest is usually American and a logical businessman compared to the scatterbrained MC. They're filled with first-world problems and limited character growth.

The problems work themselves out most of the time and the MC and Mr. Businessman go home happy and schmooze. But at the same time, they're also fun, compulsively readable, and keep me up reading til 2am on a school night because I can't stop flipping the pages. K Rowling, George R. View all 12 comments. Emma Corrigan is intolerably stupid. She lives with intolerably stupid flatmates, and has an intolerably stupid boyfriend whom she doesn't actually love but is determined to stay with because he is handsome.

Emma works for an intolerably stupid company Panther Cola and reports to tiny men with big egos that speak to her as though she is the biggest inconvenience in their day my favourite lines are "Emma, please get your arse in gear" and "Emma, please get the fuck out of my office".

Instead of Emma Corrigan is intolerably stupid. Instead of handing in her notice as any self-respecting woman would and going to work in a more positive environment, Emma desperately seeks to move up the ladder so she can impress her intolerably stupid family who make fun of her because she isn't a CEO yet she's only 25 by doing what's expected of her in her marketing assistant role and then pleading with her boss to promote her after one year even though she hasn't a clue in hell what she's doing.

I've just reached the part where the CEO presses the emergency button in the elevator, thus trapping them inside together, and proceeds to tell her what kind of man she needs. Thank you. View all 6 comments.

Seriously, How could so many of you like this book? Now I remember why I hate chick-lit so much. After having read and adored Something Borrowed and Something Blue I thought I wasn't giving enough credit to this genre, I thought there were some good books on it out there.

Because of this, I went to a list with the best chick-lit books and added them to my TBR pile. This is the first one I try and I completely abhorred it. I found this read and most of the characters absolutely shallow. The only character I did like was the Hero and we never really get to know him.

The rest of the characters are vain, arrogant and egocentric. Book's most discussed topics: Shoes, bags and celebrities. OMG, I just can't believe there are so many books discussing these things.

And I can't understand how someone can enjoy this type of reads. Seriously, if what you are looking for are funny, quick and entreating reads, you must search for contemporary romance. Just don't read more books in this genre I just know there must be better books on this genre because those 2 I mentioned at the beginning of this review were great and I enjoyed them big time I was expecting much more of everything form this book.

I can't think of a thing I liked about it. I'll try another book of this author because I just can't believe everybody likes her so much and I enjoyed this book so little, maybe it was just the topic. Readers also enjoyed.
