Avril’s mother drowned when she was five years old. At seventeen, she returns to the scene of the incident – a theater camp – hoping to discover the truth of what really happened all those years ago. The death was determined to be an accident but Avril has always had the feeling that is not accurate.
SECRETS SO DEEP was a slow burn, hauntingly atmospheric thriller. Despite the slow pace, I found myself quickly turning pages, engrossed in the story. I enjoyed the characters and their relationships with each other, though they didn’t always make the best choices. Theater settings can be hit or miss for me. Sometimes they are too over-the-top dramatic and it detracts from the story but in this case, I found the level of the theater setting and theme to be good. There were lots of little twists that kept the plot interesting.
I’d recommend SECRETS SO DEEP to YA thriller fans.
