Have you ever picked up a book thinking you knew what you were getting? Keeping Secrets in Seattle seemed like another light, contemporary romance, but - It. Was. So. Much. More. Quirky Violet Murphy and conservative executive Gabe Parker have been best friends and most probably in love, since they were six. In their teens, they even tried dating, but something terrible happened that destroyed their budding romance and almost cost them their 'best friendship.' A secret that Violet refused to ever discuss has been between them for nine years, but Gabe is still her only love. When Gabe announces his engagement to Violet's polar opposite, she is crushed and positive his new love is using him. How can Violet go on carrying her torch for Gabe when he belongs to another? Can Landon replace Gabe in her heart?By using excerpts from Violet's journals, which bare her heart and soul, as well as what happened so long ago as the beginning of each chapter, Brooke Moss has created a heart wrenching story threaded through the lighter moments with a cast of characters that you feel you can believe are real, one way or another. Would I recommend this to others? You betcha!This edition was provided by NetGalley and Entangled Publishing in exchange for my honest review.
