Emma has worked in marketing at Panther Corp for almost a year, and hopes to be promoted after her business trip to Glasgow. Unfortunately for Emma, the trip is a disaster and the journey home isn't much better when her flight encounters turbulence. Emma, panicking, spills her deepest secrets to the stranger sitting next to her. She's sure that she'll never see him again, but is horrified when he walks into her office and is introduced as one of the co-founders of the company.
I loved this. It was sweet, it had really loveable characters, and I enjoyed the writing. I don't know why I don't turn to Sophie Kinsella more often - her books really are perfect for a few hours of escapism.
The movie version of this is on Netflix UK at the moment - it's cute, and the casting is great (particularly Laverne Cox) but I wish they'd have kept the characters English. There's some really fun British humour in here that I miss from the book. If you liked some earlier Jojo Moyes or Beth O'Leary books, give this a go.
