4.0

"The man who can keep a secret may be wise, but he is not half as wise as the man with no secrets to keep." –Edgar Watson Howe, Country Town Sayings

I am a bit late this party but I am here nonetheless...

Pros
- I love the them of disclosing a secret per book, as someone who is chronically scared of secret, I find that very appealing, the power of all the women is always something to look at and admire, and in a world where women think they are in a competition, it's lovely to read about women who would gang up to protect one another against the world.
- People don't change, they own up to their mistakes and solve them, which prompts changes along the way, but it's not the type of a story where people wake up changed, and it's lovely because change in real-life is not easy and it comes with it's own list of small tasks...
- Support is support... it's lovely... it's the best thing ever...

Cons
- compared to the first half of the book, the second half is too fast... it's like the pace of the story shifts dramatically from slow to urgent...


I love this series so much... cannot wait to read the next one...
