Why read it?

1 author picked The Art of Keeping Secrets as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Rachael Johns has a very chatty, familiar way of writing that has you soon forgetting that you are sitting at home, reading a book.

Love the romantic twists and you’ll be turning the pages fast at the end! (No spoilers!)

From Mary-Anne's list on featuring women you want as BFF’s.
