Seventeen-year-old Colt has been sneaking out at night to meet Julia, a girl from an upper-class neighborhood unlike his own. They’ve never told anyone else about their relationship, not their family or friends, and especially not Julia’s boyfriend. When Julia dies suddenly, Colt tries to cope with her death while pretending that he never even knew her. He discovers a journal she left behind. But he is not prepared for the truths he discovers about their intense relationship, nor to pay the price for the secrets he’s kept.
⭐⭐⭐
A familiar read, but still just okay. When I picked up The Secret Year, something about it felt familiar—and I was right! When I went to create my review post, I noticed an older cover and realized I had read this book before. My thoughts haven’t changed much: it’s an okay read, but nothing too memorable. While the story has its moments, it didn’t leave a lasting impression.
