Review: How to Keep a Secret by Sarah Morgan

How to Keep a Secret was my first read by Sarah Morgan. I found it was the perfect book to bring to the trailer and read during my time at the beach, or while I was enjoying my morning coffee on the porch. While the book centers around a family of women (3 women, 3 generations), the secrets they keep and the struggles they're dealing with, the story didn't have that heavy emotional feel. It was interesting and had some light humor, and I enjoyed seeing how the bond and dynamic changed between these women as they revealed those long-kept secrets and talked with each other about the things that weighed heavy on their hearts. The story has a sweet romance worked into it, but it is not the main focus of the plot. I did connect with the two second-chance lovers quite easily, and the romantic in me was hopeful that they'd find their way to move forward together. Overall, this was a pleasant and entertaining summer read, and I would be interested in reading more from this author in the future.

I'll post the synopsis directly below so you can check it out if you'd like.
