Happy Publication Day – 8 March 2024

Can You Keep A Secret By Jo Lovett

One New Year’s Eve, Georgie James and her friends come up with a genius plan to help them stick to their resolutions… They all write down secrets, seal them in envelopes and then post them to each other. The secrets will be revealed at the end of the year if they haven’t kept their resolutions.

It’s perfect. Except…

Georgie’s secret is BIG… and revealing it could destroy their friendships. She has no idea why she chose that one to write down. There are plenty of innocent things she could have said – even admitting she finds newcomer Raf incredibly annoying would have been better.

What she does know is that there’s no way she can let her secret be revealed. Which means she needs to keep her (nightmare) resolutions and, most importantly, get her envelope back before anyone can open it. Which, given she sent her secret to Raf, means spending a lot more time with him than she’d choose to…

The moment you stop looking, that’s when Prince Charming will come knocking on your door!

As wedding fever takes hold, can a sworn-off-men bridesmaid and a die-hard bachelor learn a thing or two about happy-ever-after?

My Review

Summer Knowles committed a shocking act by engaging in a past affair with her best friend’s boyfriend, causing her to lose friends and strain her family ties. Vowing to remain single forever, she faces the challenge of a week-long wedding celebration for her twin sister, Winter. The situation becomes more complicated when Archibald Hill, a philanderer and the best man, proposes a no-strings-attached week together as a distraction. What begins as a week of fun transforms into something deeper.

Despite feeling undeserving of forgiveness for her past mistakes, Summer undergoes remarkable personal growth, leading to redemption and a second chance. Archie, previously a noncommittal individual, experiences love and desire for something more. Although their connection may seem like instant love, unfolding rapidly over the course of a week, the story is filled with intense tension and chemistry. In the end, the author skillfully crafts characters that feel genuine and relatable, eliciting empathy and encouragement from readers. The captivating narrative kept me engaged from start to finish.
