Secrets from her mother: I lost my virginity in the spare bedroom with Danny Nussbaum while Mum and Dad were downstairs watching Ben-Hur. While I wasn’t a fan of Emma (and of any other character in the story for that matter) and thought she was awful and ridiculous with every single decision she made (She says it’s good when it’s bad, okay when it’s not, yes when she means no, in short she lies all the time), the hilarity of her story and predictability of the more than slightly rubbish plot are entertaining.

I feel that way every time, honestly!

Until she spills them all to a handsome stranger on a plane. At least, she thought he was a stranger. . . . On my eighteenth birthday I had dinner planned with my (then) boyfriend.

So, a lot of the nuttier aspects of the story, like the way her co-workers figured out he was talking about her on television, get a pass from me.
