4.0

"A real relationship is two-way."
-Can you keep a secret? By Sophie Kinsella.

"Can you keep a secret?" Is the story of Emma, who has kept secrets from her Mother, Boyfriend, Colleagues, and even her Bestfriend, also has a few secrets of her own.

Emma's Secrets are not serious, but definitely embarrassing for her when they get revealed. On a flight back home, Emma reveals all her secrets to a stranger, a co passenger in the flight fearing death, when the flight goes into a turbulence, and she was sure that she wouldn't see the face of that stranger again in her life ever. Little did she know that, the stranger was her boss, whom she had to face everyday after.

As expected, she gets shocked seeing the stranger as her boss in her office, and to her relief he too asks to keep their meeting a secret.

Another secret added to the list. Now they both together had shared a secret.

The rest of the story follows for how long her secrets would be kept confidential, and what happens if these secrets gets revealed? Would she able to face her friends and colleagues and family after the revelation of those secrets she kept from all of them, either trying not to disappoint them or fearing the embarrassment. She has her own reasons to justify. And, every reader somewhere feels related to this well written book.

My Experience While Reading:-

I don't know why did I picked this book, but I have surely enjoyed it throughout Reading it. Though I felt the story line was cliche, and somewhat mediocre, I couldn't put it down. There were the times where I burst out laughing and got "are you mad or what?" Looks from my mom.

I would call this book, "A Guilty Pleasure."I haven't read many romantic comedies or chicklits, so I don't think I'm good enough to judge this work. All I can say is, I actually enjoyed reading, and "Can you keep a secret?" has surely made an exception in my bookshelf.

Do I recommend this book?
Go for it when you're facing any reading slump, or looking for a lighter and funny read. This book will not disappoint you.
