Synopsis

Anna’s done bad things before. Neglected and unloved as a child, she had to do whatever it took to keep herself and her little sister, Birdie, safe. But the worst thing she’s ever done is let her sister walk out of a diner when they were teenagers. She would never see her again. Years later, Anna is a new person. After a whirlwind romance, she’s married handsome, successful, and generous Guy. She has a steady job and a new life of comfort. Things seem perfect. But she hasn’t told her husband about her dark past or about Birdie, that she’s still looking for her. It’s not about his too-perfect veneer or her suspicion that he flirts with other women; it’s that he has a complicated past and family secrets too—secrets that might be more entwined with hers than he knows. After all this time, one thing about Anna remains the same: there’s nothing she wouldn’t do for her sister. And when she finds out who’s kept them apart for all these years, there will be hell to pay. A completely addictive, dark, and eye-opening novel about what people hide behind closed doors, The Secret Sister is a perfect for fans of Megan Miranda and Shari Lapena.

Goodreads review by Jen on February 27, 2021

This was a decent read, but wasn’t what I expected based on the synopsis. It centers on Anna, who has finally found happiness with Guy, but can’t seem to break free from her past and what happened to her missing twin sister, Birdie. Anna and Birdie grew up in the foster care system (note- these part......more

Goodreads review by Arianne on March 23, 2021

This is my first M. M. DeLuca book and the main thing that struck me was how well The Secret Sister was written. The style is descriptive and emotive; the sort of sentences you mull over. This is not one of those super-quick, simple reading experiences, with the villain obvious from word go. This is......more

Goodreads review by Kay on February 21, 2021

I was drawn to this book because of some of the Authors other work and I'm glad I was. Although it is a tough subject matter, it is very real and the author covered it very well. From living in foster homes - the good, the bad and the ugly, - to surviving and succeeding and helping others along the......more
