If you can't be open with your colleagues, friends and loved ones, then what is life? In Can You Keep a Secret?, written by Sophie Kinsella, readers have the chance to read the point of view of a young woman wanting to change her life and haunted by this question. This is a romantic and humorous novel aimed primarily at adolescents and young adults. The popular novel was written by Sophie Kinsella, a British-born former financial journalist and author of the New York Times bestselling books Confessions of a Shopaholic, Shopaholic Takes Manhattan, and Shopaholic Ties the Knot. The novel was published by Dial Press, a division of Random House, Inc. in 2004. Emma Corrigan is an average young woman living in London, England, who is trying to rise through the ranks of the Panther Cola company. She is a marketing assistant, but she yearns for a promotion to marketing manager so she can show her family, especially her overachieving cousin Kerry, that she can succeed. She was offered the opportunity to be a representative of Panther Cola during a deal in Glasgow. She accepts the offer hoping it would help her get a promotion. The deal is rejected and ultimately ends in total disaster. Later, Emma gets on the plane and drowns her sorrows. In the middle of the return flight, the plane was struck by turbulence. Emma, ​​​​drunk, believes she is going to die and reveals all her secrets to a stranger, who is a surprisingly good listener. Subsequently, the passengers are reassured: the plane is fine. Plunged into embarrassment, she convinces herself that she will never again meet this stranger who knows everything about her. When Emma returns to work, a terrible surprise awaits her. The man who knows... middle of paper ...... friend Jack. Emma's desire to change her life had finally come true. The novel is a typical teen novel with a quirky style of humor and an undeniably adorable romance. Although it is aimed at young women and teenage girls, men and people of all ages will also enjoy it. This is a lower reading level and easy to read, so few inferences are needed. The Climax is interesting, it has the good moral of being open to others, and the plot is unique. The book has a lot of suspense. Plus, it's hard to put down once you start. If you are looking for a light, happy and heartwarming novel to read to spend your free time, I recommend you pick this one up. In conclusion, Can You Keep a Secret?, was a fun book that lifted my spirits and made me smile on several occasions. It was a little too easy for my liking, but overall I enjoyed reading it for the book report..
