No thanks to this book, I am now in dire need of an acne cream.  I read it last Sunday and didn’t go to sleep until I finished it at 4am (Monday).  I am no book critic, but I will boldly declare that I enjoyed this book immensely.  It was just hilarious!  I was reading it while Hubby and Abby were swimming in the community pool and I couldn’t help laughing out loud!  I just love it when books make me laugh like crazy! 

Here’s the book’s description (as taken from the Borders website):

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

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:
My G-string is hurting me.Until she spills them all to a handsome stranger on a plane. At least, she thought he was a 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 possibly get worse–Until they do.

I would highly recommend this book if you want to drown your worries.  We all need a good laugh. :)

   i agree, its one of kinsella’s funnier books. although fave ko pa rin yung first two shopaholic books (and we wonder why, haha).

   i think may konting problem yung formatting ng paragraphs mo for this entry?

   i read this book while on project assignment in the US a few yrs ago. imagine mo ako mag-isa sa apartment ko, tawa ng tawa habang nagbabasa. kung may nakakita sa aking kapitbahay, malamang inakala na nyang nababaliw ako! hahaha! pero super funny talaga sya.

   then i read it again a couple of months ago (during my maternity leave). natawa pa rin ako!

   but what do you expect?! sophie kinsella fan ako
