Review title: Not nearly as good as the Shopaholic series
Product review: I'm a big fan of Becky Bloomwood and her Shopaholic adventures, but I thought Sophie Kinsella was coasting on her reputation in Can You Keep a Secret (and it appears to be working, given the number of rave reviews I'm seeing). I found Emma to be not-too-bright and not-too-interesting. Ditto for her love interest, who seems much too clueless to be a successful tycoon. Also, I had enjoyed the first-person perspective in Shopaholic, where we could get into Becky's wonderfully zany and creative mind. In this one, Emma never comes alive in a believable or sympathetic way. I agree with a previous reviewer that this book will disappoint those who expect both wit and intelligence in their chick lit.
