If I'm being nitpicky (which I'm good at), I would say the ending makes this book more of a 3.5 or 3.75 star rating. However, I voraciously read this book in about 1 day from start to finish, so looking at holistically, I feel comfortable giving it 4 stars. I loved how the author unfolded the story of Angela, HP, and Saskia. Angela and HP's relationship rang true for me a first love experience. Once Saskia was introduced, I was already invested in Angela and HP and I could feel and relate to Angela's pain and jealousy. It's been a while since I could feel the emotions so strongly on a character's behalf, so this is a huge accomplishment by Roz Nay as a writer and author.

I also enjoyed the suspenseful aspect of trying to figure out whether Angela was a reliable narrator or not. The story develops backwards as Angela is talking to a police officer, so the reader starts in the present and goes back to Angela and HP's teenage years and then forward chronologically to circle back to present day. Usually spanning a decade or more would be hard to accomplish while still connecting with the reader, but for this particular book I was SO curious to see where the characters ended up over the years. 

Why did I not like the ending? It felt a little bit loose and rushed based on the entire rest of the book's build-up. Without giving anything away, it didn't ring true or feel authentic the way the rest of the book did. It seemed like a couple twists just for the sake of twists, and I want my twists to be believable. 

That critique aside, I would gladly read any of Nay's books again - in a heartbeat! 

Sincere thank you to the author, Netgalley, and publisher for an ARC!

I highly recommend this novel of mind blowing suspense. Roz Nay’s novel keeps you guessing who is the psycho-stalker bitch and who’s the victim, and you won’t figure it out until the very last page. Do Not Skip Ahead, because you’ll want to savor every twisted moment of Angela’s story ... What Really Happened to Saskia and where did she go?

“Our Little Secret” by Roz Nay begins in a police station where the narrator is being questioned about the disappearance of her romantic rival. I enjoyed the story and found it suspenseful, but sadly, I found most of the characters unlikeable.

I love when a mystery/thriller can shock me and Roz Nay definitely achieved that, I was truly on the edge of my seat the entire way through her debut novel, Our Little Secret!  Literally until the very last page, I had thought I had it all figured out, but I was wrong- love that!  The characters were well developed and the storyline had fantastic flow.  I connected with Roz Nay’s writing style immediately and I am absolutely going to be reading anything and everything this talented writer comes out with in the future.  Our Little Secret is a 4.5 star read that I highly recommend! A must read!!!!!

They met in high school. He was the  Big Man on Campus, she was the shy girl who walked the halls alone. Somehow they clicked and fell in love, but when she went away to college, distance and another woman came between them. Now, Angela is being questioned by police about the disappearance of the wife of her old boyfriend H.P. Saskia has vanished into thin air,  leaving her husband and child behind. Angela can’t understand why the police suspect her, it’s been almost eight years since she split with H.P. Why would she want to hurt Saskia? Nay pens a sly, atmospheric thriller that will have you guessing right up until the end
