艾瑪(Emma Corrigan)是一位25歲的英國年輕女子,在一間可樂公司從事採購助理工作,過著穩定但平淡的生活。艾瑪有一位在同公司工作的「完美」男朋友,但她依然覺得人生少了些激情與刺激。有一次出差從蘇格蘭回到英國本土的飛機上,她與一位美國男子坐在一起,因為飛機突然遇到亂流,在驚慌之餘,艾瑪將她生活上的一些小秘密通通都跟那位美國男子講。回到公司後,以為再也不會見到那名男子的艾瑪,卻意外地看到那名美國男子原來是公司的創辦人之一,也就是老闆傑克(Jack)。
傑克得知原來那名同班機的奇妙英國女子是艾瑪之後,就開始對艾瑪的生活感到興趣。在艾瑪與男朋友分手之後,兩人順利地開始約會。一場訪談中,傑克無意間將艾瑪的小秘密都說了出去,因此讓艾瑪相當生氣。最後傑克承認他的錯誤並且與艾瑪分享他的人生,最後兩人和好,並且幸福地在一起。
在中文版當中有部分細節被刪除,如50頁開頭,[1]
「爺爺?」
爺爺正坐在皮沙發上,聽收音機的古典樂,地板上擺著六個紙箱,裝版各式各樣的雜物。
「艾瑪」他抬起頭來,滿臉喜悅。
然而原文為:[2] (粗體字部分為不同處)
'Grandpa?'
Grandpa is Mum's dad, and he's lived with us ever since he had his heart operation, ten years ago. At the old house in Twickenham he just had a bedroom, but this house is bigger, so he has his own annexe of two rooms, and a tiny little kitchen, tacked onto the side of the house. He's sitting in his favourite leather armchair, with the radio playing classical music, and on the floor in front of him are about six cardboard packing cases full of stuff. 'Hi, Grandpa,'I say
'Emma!'He looks up, and his face lights up.

我在石子路上拖著腳來回摩擦。我覺得有點丟臉,我早該知道這件事情很重要。這件事是真的既複雜又敏感,他說得沒錯。 他看著我的眼神,讓我不禁有點緊張。我也看著他,兩頰開始微微發紅。
而原文為:[4]
I scuff my toe awkwardly on the gravel, feeling a bit shamefaced. I should have known it would be something important. When he said it was complicated and sensitive, he was just telling the truth.
Only a handful of people know about this.' Jack meets my eyes gravely. 'A handful of special, trusted people.
There's something in his gaze which makes my throat feel a bit tight. I stare back at him, feeling blood rising in my cheeks.

「剛才講到哪裡了?」我們一邊朝著中庭走去,他一邊說,「好,接下來我要告訴妳的這件事,你絕對不能說出去。」他靠了過來低聲說,「其實我並不喜歡喝潘瑟可樂,我比較喜歡喝百事可樂」。
「不會吧?」我吃驚地說。
「是真的。我剛剛就說過了,有的事情不太光彩......」
而原文為:[6]
'So...where was I?' he says, as we step down into the courtyard. 'Oh,OK. Now this you really can't tell anybody.' He leans close and lowers his voice. 'I don't actually like Panther Cola. I prefer Pepsi.'
In fact, sometimes I decant Pepsi into a Panther can--
'No!' I give a snort of laughter.
'It's true. I told you it wasn't pretty...'
我的A級秘密原著改編之同名電影版由艾麗斯·杜蘭(Elise Duran)導演,[7] 女主角由亞歷珊卓·達迪莉奧主演,男主角由泰勒·霍奇林主演。
