Our Little Secret by Lisa Jackson
Evil
Obsession
Lies
Stupid Choices
Adultery
Promises Broken
Dysfunctional Family
And more such words came to mind as I read this book
This was a story that wasn’t easy to read, was populated with characters I never warmed to, was a bit predictable, and reminiscent of Fatal Attraction with genders reversed. It was not my favorite book by this author but an okay read in the end.
I wanted to shake Brooke for her many poor choices, send her sister Leah to outer space, put husband Neal in the doghouse tied to a chain, and daughter Marilee was over the top annoying and worse than my children were as teens or most other teens I have known. The plot was “okay” but not riveting. Brooke had many TSTL (too stupid to live) moments. And, as mentioned before, did not like any of the main characters and am not sure that any will prove redeemable in the long run.
Did I enjoy this book? Sort of
Would I read more by this author? Yes, if the synopsis appeals
Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington books – This is my honest review.

Pretty much hated this book. The dialogue was terrible, the same phrases got repeated over and over, I didn’t like any of the characters and there was no big aha moment. Also I hated how she kept saying effing instead of the actual word. It was dumb.
