The Art of Keeping Secrets by Rachael Johns
5.0
I absolutely love books like this, filled with secrets that intertwine and come out of the wood works. It really solidifies that honesty is the best policy in our household. I have nothing negative to say about this book so I will tackle this review through each of the main characters.
Felicity: What a woman?! Flick has kept an incredible secret for most of her marriage. Her friends have no idea that her marriage is far from the perfection they see. I can’t give away too much but I think that Rachael Johns tackled this issue with a huge amount of respect. It is amazingly relevant in this day and age too. It’s not so unbelievable. I loved Flick. I sympathized so much with her. I can’t imagine what I would do in her situation.
Emma: I was glad to see the ending on this one. It couldn’t have been more perfect. Emma was loveable but you got that sense that not everything is right. I felt deeply sorry for her and wanted her to have the happiest outcome. I am glad Rachael Johns did this.
Neve: This poor woman had the best of intentions at the time and it backfired hugely. It’s a case of hindsight being great. I think the issue was tackled well.
All in all the story was actually surprisingly believable. I don’t know why but I was expecting a romance novel and was pleasantly surprised with what I read. I cannot wait to read more of Rachael Johns, my next trip to the library I will be scouring the shelves.
My recommendation: If you haven’t read Rachael Johns, do it now!
