Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella
3.0
*2,8 stars*
My biggest problem with this book was Emma, the main character; she was aloof, diluted and unprofessional. Her character development was minimal; a lot of things improved in her life by the end of the book and I just couldn't see why. She didn't change at all, everything that improved in her life was thanks to her love interest (her love life, her family, her career, everything!). There was no plot, really, it was just about how there relationship developed and the relationship came out of nowhere, I couldn't see what they were supposed to have seen in each other. Lastly, this book is so short that a lot of things were left unresolved.
On the other hand, one of the things I liked was the humor, I always like it in Sophie Kinsella's books. I laughed more than a few times. Also, I enjoyed some of the conversations that took place between Emma and Jack ( the main characters). There were glimpses of how good their relationship could have been if it would have been more fleshed out.

The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick
4.0
I think I liked this book because you do not feel time passes, it's like one minute I had begun reading and the next I was done because it keeps you entertained with the idea of knowing what happened to Pat and Tiffany, why they are in the situation in which they are during the book. I think that's what makes the book so good that it captures you with the promise that you will receive answers at the end. I also like the idea of the silver lining and the happy ending, because everyone keep telling him that sometimes in real life that doesn't happen and i know that's true but i think that doesn't mean that we have to stop believing in silver linings or happy endings and i loved that Pat never stopped believing in them.

Full Review: Bookish Wanderess
An amazing book about a complicated friendship, that deals with a variety of topics from poverty and the connection it has with education to war enemies living in the same neighborhood after the war ends. A complex story, with a lot characters, written in a beautiful yet simple way.
