The Truth About Keeping Secrets by Savannah Brown
5.0
*Spoilers: nothing too blatant but if you like to be completely surprised by all aspects of a book, then it might be best to just skip this review*
One of my favorite YA novels I’ve read. None of the emotions in this book feel like they’ve been watered-down for the younger audience and I feel like the book was incredibly honest because of that. While the ending wasn’t quite as satisfactory as I’d hoped, it fit so perfectly with the story the author was telling. There aren’t always precise answers or conclusions in your life and this novel handled that concept, as well as the concept of death and loss, very well.
Bonus points for the two poems in the back of my paperback copy. Savannah Brown is a talented writer for sure, I genuinely can’t believe this is only her first novel! So excited to read her next and the next and hopefully the next after that.
