What We Never Say (Bold Journeys Book 2) by Paulette Stout. I really enjoyed this book. It's a deep book about a very sad situation. There is sexual abuse talked about in this book so be aware. It's the story of Rebecca who is a writer and has started a blog that is getting a lot of attention, in fact a major women's magazine is picking it up. Everyone is so excited for her except for her boyfriend Kyle. He seemed really reserved about it. Kyle has things in his past that he's not proud of and doesn't want to talk about. When a person from his past brings out his secret he is deeply hurt. Rebecca had no idea that Kyle used to be a model and she is as shocked as everyone else. Will they be able to work out these issues from Kyle's past and not let it interfere with Rebecca's writing and their relationship? This series is a very good series and this book in particular deals with a very taboo subject. I love how this author handled it. I would recommend reading the first book beforehand so that you can get a better understanding of the characters.
