How To Keep a Secret: A Novel Kindle Edition
Lauren has the perfect life . . . if she ignores the fact that it’s a fragile house of cards, and that her daughter Mack has just turned into a teenage stranger.
Jenna is desperate to start a family with her husband, but it’s . . . Just. Not. Happening. While her heart is breaking inside, she’s determined to keep her trademark smile on her face.
Nancy knows she hasn’t been the best mother, but how can she ever tell Lauren and Jenna the reason why?
Then life changes in an instant, and Lauren, Mack, Jenna and Nancy are thrown together for a summer on Martha’s Vineyard. Somehow, these very different women must relearn how to be a family. And while unraveling their secrets might be their biggest challenge, the rewards could be infinite.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2025The ties between sisters is truly a beautiful thing and this story of love, life, and loss in one family and how they rely on each other to come through reminds me of how families should be.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2024This book begins with four ladies, from a teenager to a grandmother, experiencing very negative events in their lives. It then follows their lives as they navigate their way through the changes and upheaval.
They each experience different types of problems, and the author writes about the issues, and how each of them works through their issues as well as how they help each other through the problems.
I enjoyed this book, and enjoyed reading about their personal growth. I highly recommend it.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2025I enjoyed the sister bond, the secrets that changed lives forever, the lost love, and the dysfunctional family. Throw in a teenager trying to find her way and a few twist and turns ...and you will be like me and can't put the book down!!!
Well dine Sarah Morgan. I will Be reading more of her creative genius.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024A real page turner. The characters were believable. I didn't want the story to end.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2022I devoured this book. I love family drama and I love close families that support each other to the end of the world. This was such a heartwarming story mixed with unending drama. I love Morgans writing style. It was such an easy read. This one I recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024This was an entertaining book. I enjoyed it. I'll read more from this author.
Great story to read on the Beach
- Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2024For the most part, I enjoyed this book but did find it predictable and somewhat repetitive. The family members not only kept secrets but were dysfunctional and sometimes annoying. One thing that irked me was that, if you decide to get rid of a lot of historical items, why not donate them to a museum? Loose ends were neatly tied up and suddenly the book ended!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2018What is a secret? Who can you tell and who can you not tell? Is it ok to keep a secret from your family? From your husband? From your kids? These are the questions that come to light throughout this novel by Sarah Morgan. These questions and secrets take hold and play a huge part in the lives of the three women in this book; Lauren, Jenna, and Nancy. I loved meeting these women and felt their characters were well developed. Shout out to Mack who steals a scene or two (or every scene she is in!).
Another great read from Sarah Morgan.
