NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Party Crasher and Love Your Life comes a novel with the same wicked humor, buoyant charm, and optimism as her beloved Shopaholic series.

“Sophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter.”—Jojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover

Meet Emma Corrigan, a young woman with a huge heart, an irrepressible spirit, and a few little secrets:

Secrets from her boyfriend: I’ve always thought Connor looks a bit like Ken. As in Barbie and Ken.

Secrets from her mother: I lost my virginity in the spare bedroom with Danny Nussbaum while Mum and Dad were downstairs watching Ben-Hur.

Secrets she wouldn’t share with anyone in the world: 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. At least, she thought he was a stranger. . . .

But come 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. Or could they?

Wonderful narration - love the voice and she does a great American accent. The chapters don’t line up in the navigation which is confusing but other wise was fab.

Chapters don’t match

Overall I did enjoy the story it was funny at times made me laugh, maybe cringe at times . I really really enjoyed the story it yad potential but and this is a big but the main character is really annoying and what made it even less enjoyable was the woman who narrated the story her voice was annoying and sometimes I didnt want to continue listening because of her voice. BUT I enjoyed the story and I would recommend this to anyone to read this book and not listen to it as an audiobook. I will most likely buy the book a read it to enjoy it a bit more .

Good Plot but character is annoying
