The Secrets We Share

I really don't know how I feel about this book. It was an okay story, but a large part of the book is about a family who keep secrets from each other. However I couldn't help but be frustrated by this. Why couldn't this family just talk to each other rather than keep so many secrets, literally most of this book would not have happened if they had taken the time and used their words.

Not only that but the characters reactions to these secrets were so over the top it felt almost unbelievable. It was so annoying how these characters acted on a whim without ever stopping to think about their actions.

I have to say I did enjoy parts of this book, I liked how many of the characters used creative outlets as a way to heal. It just annoyed me how most of this book literally would not have happened if the characters had taken the time to talk to each other. If I were to sum it up in one word it would be frustrating.
