A review by matamgirl
Best Kept Secret by Ann M. Martin

3.0

Okay first of all the author really likes the name Claudia. There is nothing wrong with that of course but I was not expecting a Babysitters' Club babysitter name. She does not appear until the end of the book and this is not a spoiler at all.

So this is the third in the series of books following four generations of women growing into adulthood. Abby, Dana and now Francie. Francie is growing up in the late 70s and early 80s. Francie is an only child. This is, like the other books, small snippets of the important events in her life. There is one major even and that is what the title is referring to. I am not going to spoiler it but Francie really shouldn't have kept that secret.

My main problem with the book is the same as my main problem with the last one which is that Dana is a horrible brat. Even as an adult. I still don't understand why she hated her mother.

Anyway I will definitely read the last one.
