about book:

When her estranged daughter asks to hear the one story she doesn’t want to tell, a woman spins lie after lie to protect her perfect life in this gripping novel.

Amy Linden has a loving husband, an adorable son, and a glamorous career as the hotelier of a grand mountain lodge. Then Ramona Crawford, the daughter she gave up for adoption twenty years earlier, pays her a surprise visit. Ramona wants to know the identity of her biological father—and Amy completely understands. There’s just one the truth would destroy Amy’s carefully curated life.

Amy shares a sad tale about a teenage romance with a boy named Freddy and the painful decision to give Ramona a better future than they could provide. At first, the pieces fit together and give Ramona both closure and a chance to get to know her odd but charming mother. But then Ramona gets a different story from Freddy, and Amy’s memories seem to change…and change again.

Will Amy ever reveal the full story of that fateful summer at the lodge? And if so, can Ramona live with the truth?

my thoughts:

Love, love, loved this unputdowable story chock full of secrets and reveals. Rebecca's Kelley's novel, I'll Tell You Everything, was an unforgettable read that I thoroughly enjoyed. The setting was secluded and rural, which added a great element of mystery to the story. Plus, the introduction of Ramona, Amy's daughter that she gave up for adoption twenty years ago, suddenly showing up and wanting to know who her biological dad is - talk about family drama! So, Amy tells Ramona about Freddy, her biological dad. Except, when Ramona talks to Freddy, Amy's story isn't matching up. Hmm...something's not right here...and Ramona is determined to find out. The question is, will Amy be willing to tell the truth? Crikey! This story was riveting. I found myself reading all night long, because I had to find out what was really going on with Amy. And, that is all I will share about I'll Tell You Everything. Aside from the fact that Kelley has written a terrific story that will grab you right from the start, keep you guessing, and leave you thinking, OMG! Such a great read!

Make sure to grab a copy and dive right in - this is one book you won't want to miss out on!
