Synopsis

Baby’s heart is in the right place, but she’s got problems—namely, a fierce taste for booze and an on-again-off-again boyfriend who can't commit. She’s living and working at Oakwood Hills, a crumbling lakeside resort, with her friends, Crystal Nugget and DJ Overalls, reeling since her adoptive mother died of a stroke. And now, the return of local drug kingpin Bad Mike is about to throw her already unstable summer into full-blown chaos. To make matters worse, the owner of Oakwood Hills announces plans to sell the resort to Amelia, her boyfriend's wealthy twin sister, who plans to renovate it, sucking the life out of the only home Baby's ever known. Desperate to thwart the sale, Baby and her friends decide to try to recover a sunken treasure rumored to be sitting at the bottom of the lake. But Bad Mike also has his eyes on the prize, and when the search gets criminal, Baby will be forced to walk down a road full of hidden secrets that will change how she sees herself—and her life—forever.

OTHER PEOPLE'S SECRETS is a truly fun, wonderfully funny book, starring a drunken anti-hero that I fell immediately in love with.

3⭐ Featuring ~ single 3rd person POV, debut Meh, I didn't love this one like I thought I would. It started off promising with a baby girl found in a dumpster. She's named Jane Doe and adopted out.

Book Rating: 4/5 Audiobook Rating: 3/5 Narrator Rating: 5/5 With a title like Other People's Secrets I totally expected this to be a thriller, but it had a much more literary feel as well as a mystery element.

Goodreads review by Damyanti on June 05, 2022

This book is a noir, mystery and literary thriller rolled up in one. After a fascinating backstory, the plot takes interesting twists and turns, following the main character Baby, who is an absolutely in-your-face, love-her-or-hate-her character. A compelling anti-heroine soaked as much in self-hatr......more
