Wishing & Waiting on Wednesday: The Secrets We Keep

There’s nothing like a Wednesday for thinking about the books we want to read! My Wishing & Waiting on Wednesday post is linking up with two fabulous book memes, Wishlist Wednesday (hosted by Pen to Paper) and Waiting on Wednesday (hosted by Breaking the Spine).

This week’s pick:

The Secrets We Keep

The Secrets We Keep by Trisha Leaver
(to be released April 28, 2015 )

A girl takes over her twin sister’s identity in this emotionally charged page-turner about the complicated bond between sisters.

Ella and Maddy Lawton are identical twins. Ella has spent her high school years living in popular Maddy’s shadows, but she has never been envious of Maddy. In fact, she’s chosen the quiet, safe confines of her sketchbook over the constant battle for attention that has defined Maddy’s world.

When—after a heated argument—Maddy and Ella get into a tragic accident that leaves her sister dead, Ella wakes up in the hospital surrounded by loved ones who believe she is Maddy. Feeling responsible for Maddy’s death and everyone’s grief, Ella makes a split-second decision to pretend to be Maddy. Soon, Ella realizes that Maddy’s life was full of secrets. Caught in a web of lies, Ella is faced with two options—confess her deception or live her sister’s life.

Twins, stolen identities, and deception? I’m in!

  1. I had seen this one but hadn’t bothered to read the summary but wow, that sounds really interesting. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

  2. I actually read this one recently, it was pretty amazing ❤ The cover is stunning of course – it's more of a character driven book than plot driven which was a nice change,

    • I’m finally reading it — about halfway through right now… and well, I’m reserving judgment at the moment. It’s fast-paced and hard to put down, but so far I’m finding it really hard to suspend disbelief!
