Review
I was a little skeptical when beginning Every Secret Thing.
I was worried it would be dramatic and morbid, but was immediately drawn into
the world of the characters. There are many different characters and sub-plots
so that this book creates its own world with its myriad of characters. After
seeing things from each characters perspective its almost impossible to not
sympathize with them to some degree. The plot took a turn I did not quite
expect, and I was hooked into the story so that I wanted to find out what
happened. It didn't leave many loose-ends and I felt a nice resolution at the
end of the book.
