Ms. Ryan’s book ‘Secrets’ was thoroughly enjoyable, a real page turner that held my attention to the end. For me, it was somewhat reminiscent of growing up in Atlanta, Georgia and coming of age in the 70s and 80s in the city dubbed HotLanta, the place everybody wanted to be! It was a fascinating story and I had to keep reminding myself that it was strictly fiction. The fictional Brianna is an intelligent young woman that tried to play by the rules (for the most part) in what most would say was a ‘man’s’ world. It was young women like the heroine in this book that blazed the way for younger women to have easier access and be able to fulfill their dreams and desires. Pay attention, there are oh so subtle hints leading toward the surprise ending. I’ll go no further than that lest I let the proverbial cat out of the bag. Read the book, I assure you it is an enjoyable and fun read. B. Trawick, North Carolina
