Can You Keep a Secret? - Sophie Kinsella 1,5 *
Wait, wait.. oops another of my brain cells just committed suicide...

I have to say this is the first time I've read a Kinsella book. I also have to admit that I am not very into to chick-lit. But, I have read enough to know that is not acceptable to base a book on a totally stupid, ignorant and "fake" character! Don't get me wrong I am not trying to compare this with any "serious literature". I knew what I got myself into. But honestly there has to be a bottom line to "light read". Many authors like Susan Elizabeth Phillips or Julie James write easy romance novels but none of them have ever made me feel bad being a woman.

Emma is beyond words. I can get behind a fat, an ugly, a poor, a mistreated, a bitch etc heroine but I can not support a character that simply isn't trying for anything! It is so disturbing that I couldn't even laugh at many, very funny, moments.

I won't say anything else. I have a sudden urge to study my applied econometrics book.. Jeez, I don't know why...
