Great book
Wow. This was the bomb. Skyla has been through a lot in her life the most people couldn't bear to get through. Her and Dave were great best friends to each other, but more like family. I knew something was shading about the reason of her mother going to jail also because it just wasn't adding up at all. Even though she lived her life the way that she did I never thought she wou.d end up with who she did at the end either. It was shocking to find out the truth in the end.

Review of Secrets of The Game
Sky's story was very intriguing. She gave us readers a glimpse of her life growing up. This in turn helped to see why she was the way she was towards men. Just when she found the so called right one, he does the unimaginable.
Nettie had me feeling sympathy for what she went through. It was all a lie on her part. This lie caused a chain reaction that shattered a life. For what reason? Maybe we'll get a part 2 to find out.

Skyla was living very dangerously. She usee her body to get things in life due to her upbringing. Her mom left her and she couldn't teally depend on no one. This family was full of secrets. Julius was a great man so i thought. Why would he do such a thing knowing her story and how hurt her past caused her. Dave is her onl y friend that she can really depend on. I can't wait for pt.2 to see what other secrets will unveil

This book will have you o the end of your seat. I can relate to Sky in certain parts as I didn’t have the best childhood and use to make up stories. At some point you have to let go of the hurt and anger. I really can’t believe Nette and thought that Julius would be different. Is this Karma?

Wow!
Man Sky just couldn't get a break! I finally thought all was well with her and just when she thought she was moving in the right direction she was let down again. You can almost fell her pain through the pages as you read this story. I definitely wasn't expecting that ending!

I didn't expect the book to end like that n I didn't expect that from Julius. This book was very good n I would recommend it. I hope Skyla does get her happy ending because she definitely deserves it.

Good book
I felt Sky's pain in this book. Her past has a strong hold over her and she's broken on the inside. The pain from losing her mom, dad, and brother controls her. I can tell there is more to this story than Sky's point of view. I can't wait for part 2.

Good read
The book was a good quick read. It had a few grammar issues but not too big. I love the way the character showed growth. In love the end. That Skyla at the end was the best hands down!
