The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes

How have I never discovered Diane Chamberlain before? I've recently read two of her books and each time I read one it makes me want to read more of her novels. The Secret Life of CeCe Wilkes was recommended to me by a friend a while back. I finally decided to pick it up and boy was I glad I did!

The book starts of with CeCe falling in love with a man a few years older than her named Tim Gleason. CeCe was young, naïve and just wanted to please Tim. When Tim and his brother come up with a plan to try and get their sister freed from prison, they ask for CeCe to help them. Little did she know that when she said yes her life would change forever.

From the first page until the last I was kept wondering what CeCe was going to do. Would she say yes to Tim's plan? What was going to happen after she said yes? Several times the book had me angry at CeCe for things she did...angry at some of the other characters as well. Despite some of the choices I didn't agree with I still wanted to find out more. I loved the way the author switched points of view from CeCe to another character towards the end of the book. It was interesting to see what the other character was feeling at that point in the story.

This book will not disappoint just like the other books of hers I've read. I'm looking forward to reading more of Diane's books in the future!
