So can Conner let go of the resentment of Sophie? And can Sophie and Conner get a second chance at love to make it right?
Dirty Secret by Emma Hart was one of those books that will touch your heart. It explores the topics of family, sacrifices, love, trust, forgiveness and second chances. I absolutely adored this book because the emotions and characters were so vulnerable, raw and real. In life, we often make the right or wrong choices and there are reasoning behind every decision. And when we make those difficult choices, sacrifices are often made. And in Dirty Secret, Emma Hart makes her readers see that no one is perfect. We all mistakes and have regrets. There is always the coulda, woulda, and shoulda. And in this beautiful well written story, Ms. Hart goes in depth and focuses on the present. NOW that the truth is finally revealed, can two people rebuild a friendship and love that was lost? Or was it ever lost?
