Review

Donna Gartshore’s A Secret Between Them is a sweet, quick read (I read it in an hour) about learning to forgive and help others work through their trials.

First of all, I love that the protagonist, Grace, is a physical therapist and how the author shows the importance of her profession! I work with lots of physical therapists and physical therapist assistants, and they have such important jobs and bless so many people!!!

It was fascinating seeing how John’s internal conflict is revealed over the course of the book and watching him work through it and learn to forgive. It is so cute seeing how Grace helps him learn that he needs to forgive and can rely on other people.

My other favorite character was Grace’s foster son. I love seeing how he bonds with John and how he comes out of his shell throughout the book. Also, little kids are just the cutest thing for a couple to bond over, so I am all for it!

I also loved how the author used John’s photography as a means of communicating the theme of finding beauty and goodness in life. It is so important that we remember to look for the blessings that God has gifted us, especially during hard times.

Overall, I thought this book was a cute read. If you enjoy books with cute contemporary romance, single parents, and themes of forgiveness, this would be the perfect book for you!

I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book. My opinions are my own. A positive review was not required.
