This was a fun little fluff read. It was cute, entertaining, and pretty enjoyable. If you enjoy romance novels by Julia Quinn, or the other Sophie Kinsella books (like the Shopaholic series), then you should enjoy this. If you prefer a meatier plot or more developed characters, this probably isn't the book for you. It's definitely romance-story fare, with one-dimensional characters (ditzy main character with a heart of gold who means well but constantly screws up; stoic, silent, mysterious love interest who is changed by his contact with fun-loving ditz; intelligent, "together" best friend of ditz who is always supportive and never catty despite her clearly more successful situation; and another friend who is the epitome of a "mean girl") and a very predictable plot. To be 100% clear, this is a fluff read, something to pick up when you just want to be vaguely entertained and amused. Nothing thought-provoking here. ( )

I adored this one! Emma spills all her secrets to a stranger on a plane when she thinks they're about to die- then he turns out to be the millionaire head of the company she works for. The rest of the story is well paced and enjoyable. Emma was a very likable and easy to relate to character and I definitely found myself hoping things would work out for her. The writing is light and witty and the book is impossible to put down. It was a very fun read and definitely on par with Kinsella's Shopaholic books.

This book is about a woman on a plane spills all her secrets to a stranger when she meets that stranger later there is trouble. I think that this is a great book about the meaning of being a couple.
