‘Secrets Make You Sick’ is a very powerful tale about Trevor Kleinhans’ struggle with his own sexuality (made worse by being a victim of sexual abuse at an early age) and a devastating addiction to crack cocaine – a notoriously lethal drug. Many parts of the book were hard to read because of the graphic detail. Trevor doesn’t hold anything back in this book: from his earliest memories of being abused to looking for anonymous gay sex, to the power his addiction had over him. It’s shocking and inspiring at the same time.The writing is open and accessible, he doesn’t try to embellish anything or gloss over small details. Trevor manages to tell his own story in a way that made me get lost in his world. I couldn’t put the book down. This book is well worth the read. I highly recommend it.
