[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two books by Sophie Kinsella.
She is a British author who writes romcoms set in or around London.

The first book was called "Can You Keep A Secret".  It was about a young woman who sits on a plane and freaks out when the plane hits turbulence.  She ends up confessing lots of stuff to a nearby plane passenger.  The next day when she arrives at work she discovers that the fellow plane passenger is actually the CEO and founder of the company she works for.

The next book was called "I owe you one".  A woman is in a coffee shop and the guy at the table next to hers asks her to watch his laptop for a few minutes while he takes a phone call outside.  The ceiling happens to cave in from a water leak while the guy is outside .  She saves his laptop.  They strike up a relationship.

I liked both books.  They were both fun.  I thought the characters and the story were well developed.

I picked up those particular books because I have read a few other books by the same author and always enjoy her books.

I downloaded the books from my library Libby / Overdrive website.

I know some people won't want spoilers but does she confess work crimes in Can You Keep a Secret? That sounds potentially hilarious. [/quote]

Yes she does.  Well, little crimes.  She blurts out that she secretly pours orange juice on her coworkers potted plant whenever that coworker pisses her off.
And she confesses that the coffee at work is awful and so sometimes a friend from another department at work will pop by her office and say, "Can you help me go over some numbers" which is secret code for "Let's go to Starbucks, get some decent coffee, and chat about our love lives for an hour".   So of course, the next day while the CEO is touring her work area, here comes the friend asking her to "go over some numbers" while the CEO is right there. [/quote]

that sounds great!  :wink:
