Another five-star book! (Be sure to check out my GoodReads profile to see all the books I've been reading and how I'm ranking them.)
In All the Secrets of the World, it's the 1980s. Reagan is president. And Lorena Saenz has been paired up with a pretty and rich classmate for a science project. Being partners with Jenny has its perks, like being invited to stay for dinner by Jenny's mom and getting to hang out with Jenny's scientist dad. Yes, Lorena has a bit of a crush on Mr. Stallworth, and it seems that Marcus Stallworth feels the same way.
Becoming a part of the Stallworth family has its downsides, though. Like when Mr. Stallworth goes missing, Lorena's brother becomes one of the prime suspects. But Lorena knows Marcus Stallworth is still alive because she knows some of the Stallworth family secrets. Mr. and Mrs. Stallworth aren't the only ones with secrets, though.
Everyone in this novel is trying to hide something - from undocumented immigrant status to infidelities. All of this secret-keeping has repercussions down the road, a road that the reader gets to travel with hopes that the characters reach the end before it's too late.
This was a really well-told story that would be perfect for book clubs to read. So much to discuss!
All the Secrets of the World is published by Zando and is available to purchase now. I received a free e-ARC to review.
