shelves-final

Shelf Control is a meme run by Lisa @ Bookshelf Fantasies.  It is a weekly celebration of the unread books on our shelves.  Pick a book you own but haven’t read, write a post about it (suggestions: include what it’s about, why you want to read it, and when you got it), and link up!

For more info on what Shelf Control is all about, check out Lisa’s introductory post.

I don’t know about you, but I keep getting books out from the library but somehow never read them! When I saw this meme recently I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to finally read them before they’re due back.

Title: The Secrets She Keeps
Author: Michael Robotham
Published: 2017
Length: 11 Hours 58 minutes

What it’s about? (synopsis via Goodreads):

“Agatha is pregnant and works part-time stocking shelves at a grocery store in a ritzy London suburb, counting down the days until her baby is due. As the hours of her shifts creep by in increasing discomfort, the one thing she looks forward to at work is catching a glimpse of Meghan, the effortlessly chic customer whose elegant lifestyle dazzles her. Meghan has it all: two perfect children, a handsome husband, a happy marriage, a stylish group of friends, and she writes perfectly droll confessional posts on her popular parenting blog—posts that Agatha reads with devotion each night as she waits for her absent boyfriend, the father of her baby, to maybe return her calls.
When Agatha learns that Meghan is pregnant again, and that their due dates fall within the same month, she finally musters up the courage to speak to her, thrilled that they now have the ordeal of childbearing in common. Little does Meghan know that the mundane exchange she has with a grocery store employee during a hurried afternoon shopping trip is about to change the course of her not-so-perfect life forever…“

How and when I got it: I borrowed it from the library about a month ago and still haven’t got to it. :😔

Why I want to read it: I still remembered seeing loads of fantastic reviews for this book around publication day and thinking I must read it.
