To be read ....
From amazon.com :
The author of the Shopaholic trilogy offers up a delightful new novel, filled with her trademark wit and humor. When her plane en route from Glasgow to London experiences horrible turbulence, Emma Corrigan is convinced she is going to die. She babbles all of her most intimate thoughts and secrets to the handsome American man sitting next to her. But the plane lands safely, and Emma bids him an awkward good-bye. When she enters the office on Monday and learns the CEO of the company, Jack Harper, is in for a visit, Emma is horrified to learn Jack is actually the man in whom she confided on the flight. He knows everything, including that she hates her job and that she is not quite sure she loves her boyfriend. But Jack does not fire her on the spot; instead, he quietly replaces the office coffeemaker she hates and gives her advice about her personal life, which she finds infuriating. So why can't she stop thinking about him? Kinsella has another irresistible hit on her hands.

Hilarious chic lit, although some situations seemed just a tiny bit forced .. the heroine reminds me a bit of Bridget Jones (the clumsiness...)... a funny book, that apparently is being turned into a movie (or so Xana tells me ...), with Kate Hudson on the lead role (?)
Another loan, with no time limit from Tho. thanks!
I had a hard time getting into it, I guess I only really got to like Emma when the horrible cousin shows up. Then it was a whiz to read and I did enjoy it. It is shallow and formulaic, but it is charming as well as shallow and the formula is a old old one which has probably qualified to archetype by now. So fun, despite all. Better than the Shopaholic books. Thanks tho, book will be returned soon.
