Overview
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? Praise for Can You Keep a Secret?
"Venturing beyond Saks and Barney's, the bestselling author of Confessions of a Shopaholic and Shopaholic Ties the Knot entertains readers with backstabbing office shenanigans, competition, scandal, love and sex. . . . Kinsella's down-to-earth protagonist is sure to have readers sympathizing and doubled over in laughter."
-- Publishers Weekly
"If laughing out loud in public places is your bag, be sure to pick up [ Can You Keep a Secret? ]. Heroine Emma Corrigan is going to be your new best friend."
-- Boston Herald
"Kinsella's timing is so perfect, her instincts so spot-on, that it's easy to . . . devour the book like the guilty pleasure it is."
-- Miami Herald
"Chick lit at its lightest and breeziest . . . filled with fabulous clothes, stalwart friends, and snotty enemies waiting to be taken down a peg."
-- Orlando Sentinel
"[Kinsella's] dialogue is sharp, even her minor characters are well drawn, and her parody of the marketing world is very funny."
-- Washington Post Book World
"[A] comedic frenzy of ill-fated events . . . punchy . . . fast-moving."
-- Rocky Mountain News
Sophie Kinsella
Sophie Kinsella is the beloved author who has captured hearts worldwide with her witty, relatable, and irresistibly funny novels. Best known for her iconic Shopaholic series featuring the endearing Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood), Kinsella has become synonymous with contemporary women's fiction that combines humor, heart, and authentic emotion.
Born Madeleine Wickham in London, Kinsella began her writing career under her real name, penning several novels before creating the Sophie Kinsella pseudonym that would launch her to international stardom. Her breakthrough came with Confessions of a Shopaholic in 2000, which introduced readers to Becky Bloomwood's hilarious adventures in financial mismanagement and irrepressible optimism. The novel's success spawned a beloved series and a major motion picture in 2009.
Beyond the Shopaholic series, Kinsella has written numerous standalone novels including Can You Keep a Secret?, Remember Me?, I've Got Your Number, and My Not So Perfect Life, each showcasing her signature blend of comedy, romance, and relatable life challenges.
What sets Kinsella apart is her remarkable ability to create characters that readers genuinely care about—flawed, funny, and utterly human. Her protagonists navigate modern life's complexities with a combination of mishaps and determination that resonates with millions of readers. Whether tackling workplace dynamics, family relationships, or personal identity, her stories offer both escapism and recognition of our own experiences.
With over 45 million copies sold worldwide and translations in more than forty languages, Kinsella has established herself as one of the most successful authors in contemporary fiction. Her books consistently top bestseller lists on both sides of the Atlantic, and her devoted readership eagerly anticipates each new release.
Kinsella's writing style is characterized by sharp wit, clever plotting, and an underlying warmth that makes even her most comedic moments feel grounded in emotional truth. She has a gift for capturing the internal monologue of modern women—the anxieties, aspirations, and absurdities that define contemporary life—in a way that is both hilarious and deeply empathetic.
A graduate of Oxford University, where she studied music, Kinsella lives in England with her family. When she's not writing, she enjoys spending time with her children and continues to delight readers around the world with stories that remind us that life, with all its complications, can be wonderfully funny.
