Book reviews on www.snazzybooks.com
I’m a huge fan of writing duo Paul Perry and Karen Gillecem, who together write as Karen Perry – I really enjoyed Only We Know and Girl Unknown so was really excited to read Can You Keep A Secret.
It’s a very atmospheric novel, weaving two timeframes – 1991, when Lindsey and friends were only 15, and the present day. I love novels that do this, especially when they involve some air of mystery, which this one definitely does. The characters – both as younger versions of themselves and as present-day adults – are intriguing (though not all of them are very likable) and I really enjoyed slowly finding out more and more about them.
It’s packed full of secrets, of varying sizes and importance, and shows how they can affect people and relationships even years later! I don’t want to give too much away about the story, but rest assured there are plenty of twists, tension and surprises in this well written, intriguing plot.
If you're a fan of Karen Perry or just want to give some of their novels a go, this is a great option and one which I really enjoyed - as usual!
Many thanks to Michael Joseph UK for providing a copy of this novel on which I chose to write an honest and unbiased review.
