I haven’t read this yet but definitely looks good to read I have so many cool books to read definitely have to get a crack on and get reading so I can read these books.

This book was definitely filled with secrets, it was another great mind-boggling book. I loved the cornish setting. Like all Emily's books, every time you believe you have worked out the mystery, there is another turn in the story, and you are proved entirely wrong. It is truly gripping and a book I did not put down- literally read it in one sitting. I also particularly enjoyed watching the characters grow throughout the book. Watching them grow as friends and work through relationships, this book has it all. Definitely read it if you get a chance.

Absolutely loved this thriller. I don't know how Barr manages to keep writing these banging teen thrillers but she gets the tone and pitch right every time even though each one is quite different. The story is skilfully told through multiple POV and different timelines with the stories of three generations interwoven to great emotional affect. With its Cornish village setting and solid summer vibes this book is a perfect holiday read for your young teens. I have a growing Emily Barr fan club in my school Library and they are already excited to get their hands on this latest addition to her collection.

4.5-5 out of five stars. I love Emily Barr’s books, fantastic story ideas, and the writing flows so beautifully. This is no exception. This books follows multiple characters, through multiple stages of their lives, to unearth secrets that have been kept buried for years. Based in beautiful Cornwall, and full of suspense, what’s not to love!

Can divides heal across generations? What if there’s a dark secret that is a main part of the fissure? Or worse: multiple secrets? It certainly makes for an enthralling read. When beginning This Summer’s Secrets, I was instantly there: trespassing over the wall and into a garden; hearing the movement of the sea in the darkness, waiting out the dawn. And the sinister feeling beneath everything that the past that lay hidden beneath just a few layers of soil. The balance is beautiful, teasing you that you might have forgotten about the secrets when you’re looking the other way. But they are there, always waiting to draw you back to the darkest corners of the garden. This Summer’s Secrets is a remarkable book, and in many rewarding ways. A perfectly escapist read, and wonderfully written. A book for all readers everywhere.
