The Truth About Keeping Secrets by Savannah Brown

dark emotional mysterious slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

Really dark and I don't think some of the topics covered were handled very well. It seemed a bit repetitive and there wasn't much digging for clues like you'd expect in a mercer mystery/thriller

Content Warnings

Graphic: Death of parent, Death, Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, and Homophobia

The main characters father dies in a car crash at the beginning of the book. That scene is then speculated and written about in detail. There are lots of scenes of the main character watch others die too in different ways. Do not read if you are struggling with grief, I still found it disturbing and I haven't experienced anything described.
