Book Reviews of The Secret Between Us
Book Review: does this happen in real life..?
Summary: 1 Stars
This book was very unrealistic... I guess there is a possibility of this happening, if you were extremely stupid.
First: I couldn't feel any sort of attachment of any of the characters; they were all either too dumb, too needy, or just not friendly. Jill might be the only character who has her head on her shoulders. She's the only one who knows what she wants and goes after it regardless of what others think (even though she doesn't really disclose all information to everyone all the time).
Second: What kind of Mother would go around lying for her daughter like this? I don't know anyone who would tangle themselves in such lies that this could possibly happen. I mean, I guess it does happen because someone thought of it; but you'd have to be an awful parent (& overall awful person) to let this happen to yourself, your child and your family.
Lastly: I can almost understand the Dad situation, parents can be very judgemental; especially fathers. But to the point of being almost terrified of your own father is just sad. Maybe you shouldn't continue a relationship with a person who treats you & your family this way - if they are family - you have to draw the line somewhere.
Overall, I do not recommend this book. I was definitely misled by the current Amazon Ratings and overall Opinions on this book. I strongly suggest reading a different book, this one is not worth your time or money.
Summary of The Secret Between Us
Nothing will break this mother-daughter bond. Not even the truth.Deborah Monroe and her daughter, Grace, are driving home from a party when their car hits a man running in the dark. Grace was at the wheel, but Deborah sends her home before the police arrive, determined to shoulder the blame for the accident. Her decision then turns into a deception that takes on a life of its own and threatens the special bond between mother and daughter.
The Secret Between Us is an unforgettable story about making bad choices for the right reasons and the terrible consequences of a lie gone wrong. Once again, Barbara Delinksy has delivered a riveting study of family and a superbly crafted novel, perfectly targeted to reading groups and fans of provocative fiction.
