The Secrets We Keep

Holy moly you need this book in your life, like now (comes out July 2nd).  I don't even know where to start on this, it was that dang good.

When Elizabeth flees to the suburbs with her husband and three kids after her husband's affair she meets a new group of "friends" whose days consist of day drinking and gossiping.  Think Real Housewives of suburbia.  Secretly battling bipolar disorder and trying to move past her husband's affair is hard enough but when someone starts an anonymous exposing all of the housewives secrets, Elizabeth reaches a breaking point.  Forgetting conversations and finding blank spots in her memory she confides in her one friend that's not part of the clique, until tragedy strikes that leaves her questioning everything.  

Trust me when I say you do not want the book to end.  Amazing writing that makes you question whether the main character is losing her mind or is just made to believe she is.  Love love loved this book!

Wow! I really enjoyed this book! This book reminded me of a Liane Moriarty type of book. I love that it has twists and different character perspectives.  I loved the blog aspect, even if time had passed, it gave you a recap of events and tied together nicely with Elizabeth's narrative. 

This was a very fast paced book, once you read the first couple chapters it hooks you! Had a gossip girl feel tied in with a real housewives perspective.  Even though I am not a suburban housewife, there were aspects of Elizabeth's life that were relate able.  Also, with the recent events regarding death and mental illness, I think this book shows what women may be experiences and how to cope with it. I recommend this book if you enjoy a gossip girl housewives type genre.
