I ended up getting the book on tape, and I've been listing to it all week. I'm down to the last CD and it just killed me to have to go into work and wait for the last 30 mins or so.

I'm about to die! I love this book and I just have to know the end soon! Maybe I'll spend my lunch break in my car. :)

From the blurb...

With the same wicked humor, buoyant charm, and optimism that have made her Shopaholic novels beloved international bestsellers, Sophie Kinsella delivers a hilarious new novel and an unforgettable new character. Meet Emma Corrigan, a young woman with a huge heart, an irrepressible spirit, and a few little secrets:

Secrets from her mother:

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

Sammy the goldfish in my paretns' kitchen is not the same goldfish that Mum gave me to look after when she and Dad were in Egypt.


Secrets from her boyfriend:

I weigh one hundred and twenty-eight pounds. Not one eighteen, like Connor thinks.

I've always thought Connor looks a bit like Ken. As in Barbie and Ken.


From her colleagues:

When Artemis really annoys me, I feed her plant orange juice. (Which is pretty much every day.)

It was me who jammed the copier that time. In fact, all the times.


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 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 possible get worse. Until they do...

I loved this book! Sure, Emma's kind of a ditz sometimes...and the author of her own troubles...and she didn't really deserve that promotion...But everytimes I'm about to scream murder at her nasty colleagues, her clueless family, she shows flashes of defiance and lets us know that she does have a backbone afterall. She's not perfect, but very real - actually she reminds me a little bit of myself sometimes - and watching her eventually come into her own and tell her nasty cousin off was lots of fun. There was also one poignant moment in the book that had me reaching for my tissue box. I didn't like the Shopaolic books, but I'm so glad I gave this one a try.
