I just finished reading Can You Keep a Secret by Sophie Kinsella and all I’ve got to say is – it was worth my time.
It was a pleasant read from start to end and I simply loved Emma’s character. She’s your normal 20 something with heapfuls of secrets! I can’t stop laughing at her over-reactive imagination, always thinking about the worst or how she can’t stop blabbering when she’s nervous, how she deals with the everyday stresses of her life, how she copes with colleagues, friends and family.
What I didn’t like was that Jack’s character was shadily and at times it gets annoying because, even as a reader, you wish to know about him but you never really do right to the very end. In fact, other than Emma’s, all characters have been deprived of the proper attention and detailing that they deserve.
Sophie Kinsella has perfectly themed the story, but the execution was a little weak according to me. I would suggest this book only to avid readers seeking out to pass a little time, not to those just starting to read or those looking for a five star entertainer. But yes, for those of you who appreciate Ms. Kinsella’s writing and are looking for a light, good-humored read, this is the book for you.
I rate it 3 hearts :)
luv,
Kira
