I really enjoyed this book. As a person who enjoys psychology, it is nice to look into someone head to see how a person truly feels. My reasoning for giving this book four out of five stars is because I wished that the post cards were categories. So, for the most part the book was very engaging and raw, which is great for a the type of book in this genre.

I loved this site as a moody tween. The secrets fascinate me—I guess they still do cause a patron requested this book and I sat and read it cover to cover at the desk between checkouts. There was a secret that matches one of my own almost identically short one husband—which felt gratifying.

Add to that the years since this website was last popular, and many of the secrets have fallen in shock-value. There were a handful of secrets about nudity and being a slut online that were funny in context with popular sites like OnlyFans. One person admitted to stealing library catalog cards and I laughed aloud. Imagine that person finding out those cards haven’t mattered in at least a decade. But it’s gotta be a cool collection nonetheless. I got such a kick out of reading this book.

i’m a bitch for coffee table books but i thinks it’s really important to actually sit down and read them every once in a while rather than letting them get she dust and be used as a shelf for candles, mugs and technology

my best friend got me this book for my 19th birthday almost three years ago and i’ve flipped through it on multiple occasions but never sat and read it cover to cover like i decided to today because i had i migraine and couldn’t concentrate very much but felt like reading and i think it’s the first time i’ve been grateful for a migraine in my life.

I loved the idea of the anonymous postcards with secrets!

This was a great read. As I read peoples secrets on postcards I thought of my own secrets and what I'd write down. This was a great and fast read, well worth the cost.

I literally read this entire book in one sitting. It was excellent. Learning the deep dark secrets that people keep, oddly enough lead to major self reflection. As you read, you wonder if any of these secrets pertain to you in some way. My brother- having only heard a few that I read allowed to him- questioned if I sent some of them in... This book definitely shows that no matter who you are, they're are others who have similar thoughts to your own.

I'm going to have to read the other ones as this one was so enthralling.

I was excited at first, however, as I kept looking over the book I began to lose interest.
