Postsecret: Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives by Frank Warren

I loved this site as a moody tween. The secrets fascinate me—I guess they still do cause a patron requested this book and I sat and read it cover to cover at the desk between checkouts. There was a secret that matches one of my own almost identically short one husband—which felt gratifying.

Add to that the years since this website was last popular, and many of the secrets have fallen in shock-value. There were a handful of secrets about nudity and being a slut online that were funny in context with popular sites like OnlyFans. One person admitted to stealing library catalog cards and I laughed aloud. Imagine that person finding out those cards haven’t mattered in at least a decade. But it’s gotta be a cool collection nonetheless. I got such a kick out of reading this book.
