About this listen

Emma is like every girl in the world. She has a few little secrets.

Secrets from her mother:
1. I lost my virginity in the spare bedroom to Danny Nussbaum while Mom and Dad were downstairs watching TV.

… From her boyfriend:
2. I'm a size twelve. Not a size eight, like Connor thinks.
3. I've always thought Connor looks a bit like Ken. As in Barbie and Ken.

… From her colleagues:
4. When Artemis really annoys me (which is pretty much every day), I feed her plant orange juice.
5. It was me who jammed the copier that time. In fact, all the times.

…Secrets she wouldn't share with anyone in the world:
6. My G string is hurting me.
7. I faked my Maths GCSE grade on my CV.
8. I have no idea what NATO stands for. Or even what it is…

…until she spills them all to a handsome stranger on a plane. After all, she'll never see him again.

But on Monday morning, Emma's office is abuzz about the arrival of Jack Harper, the company's elusive CEO. Suddenly Emma is face-to-face with the stranger from the plane, a man who knows every single humiliating detail about her.

Things couldn't possibly get worse... Until they do.

I think this story could have been extended, somethings were cut short or not expanded on. having said all that, I really enjoyed it. definitely worth a read.

great but I wanted more

Expected it to be a light-hearted, typical romance book. But the accents...awful. Character has a childish, immature personality, basically lying to herself. "Crossing my fingers behind my back" - really? Not for everyone. Disappointed, expected better from Kinsella.

Found the narrator's lisp irritating from the beginning (sorry!). Obviously can't be helped.

For me I really liked how easy it was to listen to. I got to know the characters quickly and I liked how it had a little twist when I thought the plot was going to be straightforward. Great for those of us who just love an easy rom com.

Easy listen if you love a rom com

the main character was just a little too stupid for my taste. Specially at the start of the book. it was all a little too childish for me.

nice but...

the so predictable end and how stupid Emma is. I can't stop reading a book I've started, otherwise I'd have given up after the first couple of chapters

the annoying voice of narrator
