I absolutely loved this book! It so reminded me of Bridget Jones Diary. Emma is terrified of flying and when the plane hits massive turbulence, she thinks she's going to die and starts blabbing all her secrets to the guy in the seat next to her. And I do mean everything. Turns out he's Jack Harper, the guy who owns the company she works for. For everyone he meets, a little bell goes off, and he uses what Emma told him in a clever way which is just hysterical. Poor Emma she just can't win, she is beyond mortified until the unthinkable happens, Jack asks her out.

This is just a rollicking good time, that truly had me laughing out loud. I'm sure the people driving in the cars next to me, must have thought I was nuts. I honestly don't think I would have gotten the same thing out of this book if I read it myself. The accents and the way the story was read were just priceless.

I've never picked up Sophie Kinsella's books before because chick lit really isn't my thing. I'm so not into the whole shopping thing so the shopaholic series is probably out, but her other books have just been added to my TBR. I can't wait to see if I can find them on audiobook.

farmwifetwo Have tried the shop-a-holic books and they didn't appeal. Will give this one a try. Thx.


Barbara ★ I'd be interested in your thoughts after you read it.

Susan I thought The Undomestic Goddess was pretty good.


Barbara ★ Right now I'm listening to Remember Me? which I'm finding very boring.


Lisa Kay Okay, my library has this one on audio - which your recommend, Barbara. I'm not really into the whole chick-lit thing either, but I'll give this one a go. Thanks!


Barbara ★ I'm not usually into chick-lit either but every once in a while, there is a good one. This one I thoroughly enjoyed.
