Secrets Never Die by Vincent Ralph
2.0
I didn’t realize until I was about 1/4 of the way in that it was YA, which I guess makes it a little more tolerable.
The dialogue is very clunky and unnatural. There were several exchanges that left me rolling my eyes, wondering if this author knows a single teenager - or if ever actually was one himself.
The premise was interesting enough and kept me from DNF (barely), but the characters shallow despite seeming to try really, really hard to be deep. If felt like it was trying so hard to convey a meaningful message but failing miserably.
Just not a great book.
