The Secret Between Us (Abridged) Audiobook

" Easy "beach read" kind of a book. It reminded me of a Hallmark movie. Nice book to have between some of the heavier stuff I've been reading lately. "

" This book really didn't speak to me. While it was a quick read, the plot itself was slow in developing. "

" The is the first book that I've read by Barbara Delinsky and It was Great!!! A very compelling account of famliy, love, lost, sacrifice and reconciliation "

" With Delinsky's books (I've read two), I find that I cannot believe that ALL these problems occur at the exact same moment to ONE woman! The common theme, I guess, is that she's been a bit self-centered to see they were building . . . That being said, I couldn't put it down! "

" Excellent story about a mother's devotion to her daughter. The truth always comes out in the end. "

" It was alright. Okayish storyline. Not so good on the writing. I liked the ending though. It left you with your own imagination. "

" A potentially new favorite author. I really enjoyed this book & look forward to reading her other best sellers. "

" I have been reading Barbara Delinsky novels for years and it seems like she is trying to touch on the controversial like Jodi Picoult. I liked her older books. "

" A bit of a convenient ending, and I felt like the message about drinking and driving was a bit heavy, but a good story about a woman who has to deal with the trials that are thrown her way whether she wants to face them or not. "

" Likable enough little book. Simply written with an efficient story line. Characters are fairly one dimensional. Still, the author does a respectable job with the themes of deceit, protection of loved ones, divorce and struggles of rebuilding a single-parent life. Likable but average; pleasant. "

" Jodi Picoult-like but without the same oomph to her characters. "

" A daughter hits someone with the car and the mother takes the blame for it. Interesting to see how the coverup affects so many lives "

" I am only part way though, but I can already tell this is going to be great! Vary deep. "

" Interesting read- poses a great question, what lengths would you go to in order to protect your child. Good storytelling. "

" This was okay, my second Barbara Delinsky book and I haven't been impressed so far. "

" I had to read this for a bookclub, and I'm gonna be honest here, it was awful. Totally predictable with very flat characters and an afterschool special ending. Blech! "

" Made me wonder what I would do if my daughter and I were in this position! A tough decision! "

" the author's style was personal reflective and easy to feel like you knew these characters. Appreciated the varying perspectives of daughter and mother sister and all "

" Such true to life characters; everyone has cracks and faults. The people seem so real and the way they relate is also very realistic. I'll read more of the author. "

" Quick Read -- Good book about the relationship between a mother and her daughter. "

" An interesting story of problems between family members brought out by a car accident. "

" This book didn't grab my attention from the beginning; it was hard to get in to. "

" While I love Delinsky's books and this was a good one, it left me hanging at the end. I expected more at the end but generally was happy with the story.... "

" Quite entertaining. I read it in one day. "

" Sounds like a hidden lesbian love story but in fact it's a story about how much a mother will do for her child. Could have been about 100 pages shorter. Kinda boring and the ending was not exciting. "

" Very well written...amazing how a lie can barrel out of control and affect so many. "

" very fast read - decisions we make to protect our loved ones and the repercussions it can have. "

" A good holiday read but no need to take it home "

" A really good read about family relationships. It was really interesting to see all the secret between different people... Grace and Deborah, Deborah and Jill, Hal from his wife... I thought it was really good. "

" With Delinsky's books (I've read two), I find that I cannot believe that ALL these problems occur at the exact same moment to ONE woman! The common theme, I guess, is that she's been a bit self-centered to see they were building . . . That being said, I couldn't put it down! "

" It was decent, quick read. I found the emotions to be very relatable, but some plot lines were hard to believe. I'd still recommend it though... "
