    This book tells the story of Emma, a girl with a lot of secrets (who doesn’t have secrets really?) Emma tells them to a random stranger on a plane, and by some cruel twist of fate, that random stranger ends up not being so random. Emma soon discovers that the man she has divulged all her secrets to, turns out to be her company’s CEO. (This plot line reminds me of Meredith and McDreamy’s first meeting … lol) The plot is a little predictable, but the book is thoroughly enjoyable. It is filled with the same laugh out loud antics as the Shopaholic series. I recommend this book to anyone who likes Kinsella’s other books.

    Not as good as the Shopaholic series, but still a light and amusing read. (Much better than Domestic Goddess).

    This book was enjoyable to read but it's definitely not Kinsella's best. The characters were funny and I was anxious to find out what will happen in the end. But pace of the story was a little slower than the Shopaholic series. I'd still recommend this book because it's a good chick lit.

    I read this book a year or so ago and it is another hit by Sophie Kinsella as far as I am concerned. I read Sophie Kinsella's books for summer light reading...it's the equivalent of watching a sitcom... I enjoy her books because of her use of language as well. I highly recommend this book or any of her other books if you are looking for a quick easy read that will not cause you to think too hard but will amuse you nonetheless.

    For a recent 5 hour drive to Los Angeles I decided to pass the time w/ a book on CD. So I visited my local library and found this title! I knew of Confessions of a Shopaholic (thanks to ChickAdvisor), though had never read it, and thought I'd give it a whirl.

    The story is a fun, light, humorous read ... er, listen. The storyline was light enough that I could follow along easily while still concentrating on the road. The only challenge was that I had to listen more attentively than I would normally b/c the book was read by a British woman. My ears would perk at different pronunciations, emphasis, and even new words altogether!

    The book was fun and it accomplished my goal ... make the drive to Los Angeles a bit more bearable!

    Shopaholic scribe Sophie Kinsella changes the topic and pokes fun at another female vice - keeping secrets. When nervous traveller Emma blabs all her deepest darkest to a total stranger during a bumpy plane ride, she assumes her secrets are safe. The next day she meets the new boss and recognizes him as her confidante!

    A fun summer read for lazy days, readers of the Shopaholic series will enjoy Kinsella's trademark wit in this new adventure.
