Review - Telling Secrets (At The Party #1)

Brooke just wants to forget. About the weird stuff that’s going on with her family. About the fact that her best friend moved away right before their senior year. About the fact that lately, she hasn’t been able to feel much of anything.

And that’s what Aiden helps her to do -- forget. So what if he’s kind of… unavailable? Everyone needs a bad boy, right?

Ry just wants to be with Brooke. He had a chance a long time ago, and he’s been pining for her ever since. And when he sees her with Aiden, he decides that some things have been kept secret long enough…

Told from both Brooke and Ry’s point of view, AT THE PARTY is a romantic novella from Lauren Barnholdt, author of TWO-WAY STRET and ONE NIGHT THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.

Because it’s a novella, I am not going to bore you with a long review. So here is a quick one. This is the book-o-metre.




Characters: 5/10









Not all the characters annoyed me. Just Brooke (one of the main people). Cause I liked Ry just fine. There was something about Brooke that just pissed me off; maybe it was the way she treated her friends or how she acted with Aiden (total douche by the way)... But don’t let that put you off. Ry (the other main character) is super awesome and sweet.




Writing: 6/10


No comment.




Plot: 6/10




Pretty average, boy loses girl he really liked when he was young, tries to get her back because girl has moved on and is hooking up with another guy, but subconsciously she hasn’t moved on...




Enjoy-ability: 8/10




Light, fluff, not super moving and you’ll probably forget the book in a couple days but at the time, it is generally enjoyable.




Overall interestingness: 7/10




It will keep you reading, it wasn’t boring.
