6.9.2021 - The Secrets of Us

The Secrets of Us by Lucinda Berry 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for gifting me a digital copy of the latest book by a favorite author, Lucinda Berry.  4.5 stars rounded up!

Krystal and Nichole are closer than sisters, bonded together by sharing a foster home and a traumatic event when they were teenagers.  Now adults, Krystal is a family law attorney and Nichole is married to Aiden and a popular teacher.  But when Nichole is taken to a psychiatric facility accused of setting her house and fire and trying to kill Aiden, Krystal drops everything to try and save Nichole.  She hires a lawyer and works with the doctors and detectives to try to find answers - but those answers lead back to their shared past and a terrible secret.

Lucinda Berry is a former clinical psychologist and a research in childhood trauma, so of course she nails it!  Everything the sisters go through as a result of their trauma feels so real.  The book is told from the POV of both Krystal and Nichole in the present time as well as before.  There were lots of twists and turns in this thriller - highly recommended!
