Keeping You a Secret

Julie Anne Peters

Published in 2000

250 pages

 Everyone thinks Holland Jaegar has it all. She has the looks, good grades, great boyfriend and popularity. However, she doesn’t have the “chillest” mom. Her mother is unbelievable to say the least. Once Hollandmeets Cece, the new girl, she knows that she is in love with her. In the novel Holland and Cece fall for one another, but decide to keep the relationship a secret. This may have been the worst mistake they could ever make. Throughout the novel they are both forced to face many challenges.

            Well, personally I liked the book. This is about 2 lesbians and how their lives changed when people found out about their sexuality. It was interesting to read about. The only thing about it is if a lesbian read it and was thinking of coming out of the closet, this novel could scare them into keeping everything in.

 

Why I liked it?

            I liked it because first of all it was different. I normally would not choose to read this type of book, but it kept my attention and was not boring.

 

Would I recommend this book?

            Definitely! This book opened my eyes to what could be going on right infront of me. I never really realized how something so little could make such a big impact. It was a good book and I learned from it.

 

How many stars?

            I would give this book a 4.
