Keep This To Yourself was one wild ride.
I'm so glad that I picked this up. The writing was well-paced, each character had their own unique voice, and Mac as a narrator was a protagonist that I genuinely cared about.
There were so many different layers to this story that just kept me guessing at each and every turn; just when you have an idea of where the plot is going, it reminds you of something 5 chapters earlier and twists you in another direction.
I will say that I felt the romance happened a little too quickly. Don't get me wrong, I went looking for a mystery story with LGBTQ+ characters and found it, but if I had one criticism of this story it would be the speed with which Mac and Quill get together.
Other than that, A+.
