This is the funniest book I have ever read. I stayed up all night reading it, laughing out loud till about 3 am. Emma is such a funny character and the story is so light hearted, easy to read, and engaging. Every time you turn the page, you get excited and anxious to read what hilarious situation Emma will find herself in next.

Plot: Emma, a young working girl in London, currently works in the Marketing Dept of the London version of Pepsi Co. On a plane ride home, she tells all her secrets to the stranger next to her, since she is afraid the plane will crash. She tells this guy everything, and it really makes you wonder about your own secrets. She tells him how she pours orange juice, instead of water in one of her co-workers plants, she tells him that she tells every1 shes a size 6 when really she's a 10, she tells him shes never been in love, (...) etc. It's really very, very funny. (...) Their love story is very cute and fun to read.

Overall, excellent book to read when you're stressed out or looking for a good laugh. You can read it again and again, and it won't fail to make you laugh. Kinsella is truly a gifted author. I personally thought that this latest venture, was even better and funnier then her Shopoholic series--which I didn't think would be possible. Total chick lit, sometimes hard to believe, yet totally engaging and laugh out loud funny. I recommend this to every woman out there.

I love the Shopaholic series and I was extremely excited for this book. And I wasn't disappointed. I still love the Shopaholic series, but I loved this book even more. I liked that it was more about relationships and less about financial turmoil. I felt stressed out for Becky Bloomwood. Emma is more assertive and finally gets to speak out for herself. I loved all the characters in this book and I could match them up with people in my life, so it made it that much better. Everyone knows someone who displays similiar characteristics of Artemis, Jemima and awful cousin Kerry.

Is this book fun and probably a bit unrealistic? Definitely. Is that part of the reason I love it. Absolutely. It made me chuckle. It was a great distaction from everyday life. And true to her form, Sophie Kinsella leaves us asking for more. Oh and for anyone who might be interested, I heard that they were going to turn this into a movie that is due out sometime next year with Kate Hudson as Emma. I hope it does justice to the book.

Okay, Emma is slightly dopey with all her little secrets, but haven't we all at one time or another left the scene of the copy room when the paper got jammed? Believing she'll never lay eyes on the handsome stranger who sits beside her on a turbulent flight, Emma reveals her innermost secrets and most fatal character flaws. The fun begins when the stranger turns up on her job. He's the CEO! Be prepared to laugh uproariously.
