Publisher's summary

Sometimes, the people who seem the happiest have the most to hide.

But it's imperative Elizabeth put on a brave face. So when she's not going to Costco or day drinking with her best friend, she's trying to create a new, drama-free life in the suburbs.

And it seems to work - until an anonymous gossip blog begins spilling the women of Waterford's darkest secrets.

Now, the blurred conversations and blank spots in Elizabeth's mind give way to panic and anxiety. If her secrets - like a hospitalization for bipolar disorder and a suicide attempt - don't stay buried, she faces social shunning.

Because after all, life in Waterford must look Instagram perfect at all times.

With her mental health in tatters and her marriage on the brink of imploding, Elizabeth fights to protect her family, her reputation, and her sanity.

A delicious mix of gossip and darker narrative, The Secrets We Keep is a brilliant look at life in the social media age, friendship, and the stigma of mental illness.

Secrets, Truths & Living! Great Story & Listen!🎧

A well told story that contains interesting characters and storylines. The author, Mia Hayes, creates and presents life in suburbia through the eyes of Elizabeth, the main character. The setting is an affluent community called Waterford, where there are clicks and with clicks comes lot of drama. Reminded me of a cross between “Desperate Housewives” & “The Stepford Wives” gone mean girls. Elizabeth’s mental health plays a large part in the story and Mia Hayes does a great job with it, she keeps it real. The book was addictive, the story drew me in and kept me thinking and rolling my eyes quite often. I loved the title “Bitch Brigade”, so fitting. Also loved “Surviving the Suburbs” blog and the ending. WTG Elizabeth!! Mia Hayes, thank you for this great story.

I listen to the audio version, E.L. Beckett does a wonderful job narrating the story and bringing the characters to life. She performed the voices of all the different characters, switching back & forth effortlessly keeping the story in a perfect flow Thank you for the great listen.

Meh

The story was ok enough to keep me interested. Lots of loopholes and flaws and not a SINGLE character was likeable.

The narrator had the most annoying voice ever. Think valley girl meets Kardashians.
Just meh.
