This book sure has a lot of secrets to unveil! I bet it will be hard to put down this book as the reader would want to know all the secrets and as you already said that there's always something new happening, it will be difficult to halt reading.

Your excitement for this book came through the review. It sounds like a wonderful and exciting book. Secrets can be good or bad, I guess it all depends on what the secret is about. The characters you mentioned all seem to come alive as you spoke about them. This book sounds amazing. I like good suspense and this book seems to fit the bill. Thank you for a great review.

It sounds interesting to read about so many characters and their stories in one book. I will definitely give this one a go. Thanks for the amazing review

I really loved the book and it was a nice short read. I really loved the writing style and all the characters seemed to bring their own to the table. I loved the aspect of friendship is so strongly worked out despite everything that had happened. My only complaint was with the flashbacks as sometimes I did not realise I was reading a flashback and as a result found myself flipping back to see if I had missed something.

What kind of secret would one discover at 40 years that could change their lives. Why is a 40 year old adult not yet settled

A romance tale revolving around a woman who gave up her baby for adoption and now her secrets come back to haunt her sounds interesting. Great supporting characters, unputable plot, and an English setting make it a good read for fans of the genre. That it was well-edited is another plus. Not for me, but I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the review!

At first, this book seemed pretty standard. But thanks to the review, I'm more interested in the characters and where their journeys will take them. Their self-doubt and questioning nature's make them extremely relatable.

Seems like an interesting book, however I am more for historical romance novels then for contemporary ones. But nevertheless the review is well written and probably a lot of people will enjoy this book.

I’m not a huge fan of romance novels but learning to deal with the secrets of the past and moving forward to the future is a solid plot. The relationships in this book sound well developed and the characters seem realistic. Thanks for the helpful review!

The sheer amount of "secrets" hidden in this book is enough to make me grab it right off the shelves! I think it's great that the author is able to weave a web around his main characters while fleshing out the roles of the secondary ones to make them pivotal to the plotline. I'd like to see how the characters interact and question their plight in life. Thanks for the raving review.
