Our Little Secret by Roz Nay

4.0

Okay, wow. This book surprised me for sure. Initially, I had no idea what was going on or what I was getting myself into. Honestly, I wasn’t sure if I was even going to finish this book because I didn’t totally love the beginning of the book, but holy crap am I so glad I persevered. This is exactly what I wanted Our Kind is Cruelty to be and more. You completely sympathize with Angela at the beginning because of the fact that she starts her story that way, when she had HP and was in heaven. I was even mad at Saskia for ruining her life and I totally didn’t understand what happened with Angela and HP and whether they even officially ended. That was honestly pretty shitty of HP to not give Angela closure. Typical men behavior honestly with the whole “I still want you in my life” bullshit when they clearly never had a clear ending and had been in love before. But then when he did try and then she started doing super weird things like trying to make Olive like her more than Saskia (Olive’s loving mother for crying out loud), I started to feel unsettled. When Angela told the story about the witch and then when she put Saskia’s underwear on, I officially was like “this girl is fucking deranged.” I’m so glad I finished this book. The ending is great. I almost want to give it 5 stars, but I didn’t love it in the beginning. Strong 4 stars, leaning toward 5. But we’ll leave it. Wow.
