The Secrets We Kept by Lara Prescott
2.0
I went into this book excited and expecting to love it. The Reese's Book Club picks don't usually steer me wrong, but this was an exception.
The whole thing just felt choppy and disjointed to me. The characters didn't feel like they had a lot of depth, and it was difficult to connect with and root for them. I didn't feel like the author got her idea across very well. I had trouble understanding how exactly the typists played a role in securing Doctor Zhivago for distribution outside of the USSR. All of the characters' romantic relationships felt forced.
