Can You Keep a Secret?
by Sophie Kinsella

Coworker L* is feeding me her stash of fluff books as she finishes them. I use them as motivation at the gym. This one was quite entertaining!

The main character is a young woman working in advertising. She has a boyfriend and a roommate and a slightly hysterical internal dialog. Or should that be "dialogue" since she is British? Anyway, she ends up on a plane seated next to a handsome stranger, and when they encounter severe turbulence, she panics and pours out all her secrets to the stranger in fear that she will die and no one will ever know her innermost thoughts.

After she returns to work, it is revealed that the handsome stranger is none other than the American founder of her company. Hilarity ensues. No, really, it's pretty hilarious. This isn't a deep book by any stretch of the imagination, but it was a fun read and kept me distracted from the treadmill.
