This is an interesting collection of 11 short stories that all have to do with family secrets written for teens/young adults.
The theme is an interesting one. I liked the ones that focused on the obvious secrets a family can have - family members that are never talked about, personal histories that are really painful, etc., but I was really surprised by a couple of them which ended up being ghost stories - talk about skeletons in the attic! I enjoyed several of these stories, and had read other works by two of the authors.
Overall I enjoyed the book. I liked getting a quick glimps at what could be a larger story. I would recommend this to young adults looking for new authors to try, as well as anyone who likes short stories.
