I am a strong believer in New Year´s Resolutions and although often I don´t keep them in detail, at least I have some master plan to guide my professional and personal aims during the year.
Can You Keep a Secret?, a lovely rom com by Jo Lovett, starts with such an event: at the beginning of a new year, Georgie and her friends promise to track their resolutions by sending to each other letters where they share some special secrets. The secrets will be revealed at the end of the year only if the resolutions will not be kept.
Sounds terrible, but some of us may need a bit of extra pressure to keep up their plans. And the idea to be honest, is quite ingenious. However, Georgie, under the impact of the moment, is about to share a terrible secret. And she got caught into a situation she may be hard to get out of it, only by her genuine fault.
This book is a rom com but it has so much psychological observations and insights into human decision making and human mind in general. As the characters are relatable, it is easy to figure out such situations in our own lives as well and it was an interesting mind exercise to do it. It also explores in a very fine intelligent way the power of secrets and how they can be sometimes stronger than us.
I´ve read this book over the long weekend and was a very good time investment. Can You Keep a Secret? is a recommended read for anyone curious to explore a different take on friendship, secrets and committment.
Rating: 4 stars
