The Truth About Keeping Secrets by Savannah Brown
5.0
4.5 but giving it a well-deserved rounding up! I think the marketing for this novel is a little bit off; the synopsis sounds like a straight up mystery, but in reality those mystery elements are wound around a more prominent story about grief. I ended up totally enjoying both parts, but I’m just mentioning this so future readers can maybe adjust their expectations a bit.
Savannah Brown has an excellent writing voice, and considering this is her debut novel I can’t wait to see what she does next. Her characters are lifelike, and her prose is refreshing and sharp. Even when the story was a bit slower I was still engaged with everything happening. Also, Brown writes about mental health in a WONDERFUL way, and this book really champions ways to cope and take care of oneself even in dark times.
I’ll definitely be recommending this one to other readers!
