Wee-view: Can You Keep a Secret?

1st Words: "Of course I have secrets. Of course I do.
Everyone has a few secrets."
2¢ Worth: Sophie Kinsella strikes again with a wickedly funny chatterbox who spills her guts (after too many vodkas) to a handsome stranger on a plane. Only to find out later the handsome stranger owns the marketing firm she works for. While the story isn't new per se (it's a classic girl meets prince tale), Sophia brings it hilarity, levity, and her gift of funny oh-so-true inner dialogue. Sophie's books are like book candy. You can expect them to be sweet, sassy, and light. So the next time you need a quick retreat pick up Can You Keep a Secret? for a fun sugar rush. 4 stars

Whippersnappers: Sex, sexuality, and profanity.

  8. Very funny premise. A higher-brow switcheroo from that TV show Undercover Boss.
