If I was being picky, there’s just one thing at the end I couldn’t quite wrap my head around but it didn’t detract from the book in any way. The author seamlessly takes us on their journey and has us empathizing with both women… AND the people around them. This is done with good reason because as world’s collide, things start moving and methodically start to fall to pieces. Told in alternating chapters between Meghan and Agatha, he builds their worlds in the first part of the book to where the reader gets a deep understanding of their character.
Michael Robotham manages to get into two. One thing I have always been impressed with is the ability of a male author to get inside a woman’s brain. Thanks to the author and publisher for a copy of this novel it was my pleasure to provide an honest review.Īs mentioned, this one was a #cjsreads pick for July! So, keep reading to see what Chandra and Jessica thought of The Secrets She Keeps. I have read almost 200 books this year and this one is at the top. Overall, if you like a psychological thriller that is INTENSE and will keep you turning the pages late into the night, then you will want to read The Secrets She Keeps.
I, in part, was turning the pages faster and faster because I wanted to see what would happen and the other part of me needed to take frequent breaks because the pages were becoming too intense! Fast paced plot with complex characters had me racing through the chapters. However, after the first few chapters, I knew this would be completely different and, needless to say, I was hooked. I wasn’t 100% sure where the author was going to go with the story but I knew it had a similar dark vibe from some others I had read recently (for example, like Watching Edie). Initially, I felt as if this book was going to read like a thousand others I had read before. Told between alternating perspectives between two pregnant women (Agatha and Meghan), Robotham weaves a tale of deception, desperation and desire. Both women, due around the same time, have their own web of dark secrets and when Agatha finally musters enough courage to speak to Meghan, it sets into motion a series of events that cannot be undone.
Meghan has it all: a baby on the way, two other adorable children, a loving husband, a beautiful house and a blog that Agatha reads each night. This book is worth all the hype.Īgatha, eight months pregnant, lives her mundane life admiring Meghan, one of the mums she sees out and about. Now that I have finished reading it for myself, I’d have to agree. I was incredibly excited when #cjsreads decided to make The Secrets She Keeps by Michael Robotham a July pick I had heard nothing but amazing things about this novel.
