Can You Keep a Secret?

About the book

Emma Corrigan, a junior marketing executive, believes she is about to die during a bout of severe mid-flight turbulence. In a state of panic, she confesses her most private embarrassments to the stranger sitting next to her, including her true feelings about her boyfriend, her dissatisfaction with her career, and her workplace mishaps. When she returns to her office, she discovers the passenger was Jack Harper, the reclusive founding CEO of her company. Jack now knows every intimate detail Emma has hidden from her colleagues and family.

Fans of British romantic comedy read this book for its focus on workplace awkwardness and the vulnerabilities of modern dating.

It appeals to those who enjoy character-driven humor and stories where honesty creates social chaos before leading to resolution. The story provides a perspective on how intimacy develops through the accidental removal of social filters and the consequences of total transparency between strangers.
