The characters are well developed, convincing, and written with a sharp understanding of their feelings. Readers who are gay and those who are not will enjoy Hollands journey of self discovery and while the writing style is simple, there are several layers of meaning to explore. Student Review: Keeping You a Secret is a good book, if you're not sure what your sexuality is. Holland is a good student and a hard worker, but when she comes out to her mom, her life gets all shaken up. I've read other books by this author and I liked them, but this book just wasn't the book for me. Holland is on the swim team, the student council, and has a boyfriend. Cece is a new girl in school who is out from the start. They are drawn together, much to Holland's surprise. When Holland goes to school her senior year, she feels like it's going to be a drag. With her boyfriend and college coming up, it seems like all is done, but when she goes to a class she had to use just as extra credit time, she meets a girl name Cece, and notices something different about her. While hanging out with Cece, she realizes not only who she is, she realizes her true feelings. Best book EVER!!! I think this book should be required for all high school students to read. Cece and Holland are my new heroes and I don't think anything I've ever read yet can match the emotion of this book. 'Keeping You a Secret' kept me up all night reading and made me cry numerous times. I pass this book on to everyone I know and I'm excited to find and read all of Julie Anne Peters other books. 0.071 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0316009857, Paperback)ith a steady boyfriend, the position of Student Council President, and a chance to go to an Ivy League college, high school life is just fine for Holland Jaeger. At least it seems to be. But when Cece Goddard comes to school, everything changes. Cece and Holland have undeniable feelings for each other, but how will others react to their developing relationship? This moving love story between two girls is a worthy successor to Nancy Garden's classic young adult coming out novel, Annie on My Mind. With her characteristic humor and breezy style, Peters has captured the compelling emotions of young love.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:57 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
