Book Reviews of The Secret Between Us
Book Review: Good story, bad ending
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a huge fan of Delinsky, but this book disappointed me. The story was good, about the relationship between mother and daughter, and about lying. But the ending was so contrived and "tidy" that it really angered and disappointed me for sticking with the book all the way through. The ending (I won't give it away here) was a very unfortunate and "easy" way to wrap up the storyline. Delinsky can do much, much better than this.Book Review: Very lifelike story.
Summary: 5 Stars
I would highly recommend this book to all readers. The book is about a single mother who lets her daughter, who oly has a permit, drive on a very rainy night and they end up hitting and killing a man. The police assume that the mother was driving and she never corrects them because she is trying to protect her daughter, but she realizes that the lie has hurt her daughter more than telling the truth would have.
Book Review: Lifetime Movie?
Summary: 3 Stars
This book could not hold my attention and took me over a month to get through. I basically read it to fall asleep at night and not because it was terrible per se, but because it just slow paced and boring. I could definitely see it being a Lifetime movie or an okay summer read but I wouldn't exactly recommend it to anyone or say it was one of the better books I've read.Book Review: Not her usual style, but great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read anything Ms. Delinsky writes and am never disappointed. This book was an easy, entertaining read that had me how she was going to "pull it all together" at the end. I was so sure I was going to be mad at someone in the end and it was wrapped up beautifully. The characters are well-developed, and I was actually sorry to see the story end because it was so good.Book Review: Just okay
Summary: 3 Stars
I have never read Barbara's book but I read a review in a recent magazine article. I was very drawn to the story. I have to say that I kept on waiting for something to happen. The beginning was awesome but then it never picked itself up. Kind of bummed because I was looking forward to it and seldom buy something in hard cover. Not that great of a book.
