It was ridiculously good! Leaver had characters that you wanted to read about. When a tragic accident tears one away and one is mistaken for another, do you keep up with that lie or tell the truth? What if being the other sister means everyone around you is better off? Will it lessen your guilt? Not likely, in my opinion. You have one who is shy, quiet, and keeps to herself and another who is the social butterfly, co-captain of the field hockey team and all around loved by all it seems. Identical twins that could not be farther apart in personality… that is what this book centers around. What would it be like to have another person just like you? Or someone who looks just like you but is nothing like you? The experience is definitely a rare one. If you quote me on anything, quote me on that. ‘The Secrets We Keep’ was an incredible book. I have never read a book by Trisha Leaver before, but she has just been bumped into my favorite authors.
I find a lot of great stories, easy reads, and overall fantastic artistry in books in this genre. Caught in a web of lies, Ella is faced with two options-confess her deception or live her sister’s life. Soon, Ella realizes that Maddy’s life was full of secrets.

When-after a heated argument-Maddy and Ella get into a tragic accident that leaves her sister dead, Ella wakes up in the hospital surrounded by loved ones who believe she is Maddy. In fact, she’s chosen the quiet, safe confines of her sketchbook over the constant battle for attention that has defined Maddy’s world. Ella has spent her high school years living in popular Maddy’s shadows, but she has never been envious of Maddy.
