Claire's Review 5 of 5 Stars

The Secret follows the story of Beth whose mother has just passed away and her son Jake who needs a kidney transplant. Beth needs to find out who her father is to help her son find a donor.

This was an amazing read! I loved the story and the characters were so well written! I was hooked the whole way through and will definitely be reading more from this author. This is the type of story that stays with you even after you have put it down. A definitely must read!
