I've been avoiding writing this review. Not because it was bad, far from it, but because it was really really good and I wanted to convey how I felt about it accurately.Being a person who did lose a significant other in high school, I totally related to this book. In fact, I was the same age as Colt too. It's a really hard thing, and I think it's harder as a teenager because your hormones are out there and the emotions you feel that young are so raw and untapped. A lot of times you're feeling

The premise of this book was intriguing. After a year in a secret relationship, Julia dies leaving Colt to mourn her in silence. With all that bottled up grief, it could have been good, but nothing in the book is explored. Hubbard brushes past those first critical six weeks after Julia's death in a few chapters and then continues to skim from scene to scene without delving into anything. The whole book is tell, tell, tell. Even in the last chapter, Colt is summarizing tidbits of his relationship

There are quite a few things about this book that are irksome, the biggest being that there is no tension and therefore no resolution. It merely chugs along, but not really accomplishing anything. First, the love story between Colt and Julia is a big pile of who cares or to be more accurate, the sex story between Colt and Julia because these two are nothing more than well, I can't even say friends because they aren't, with benefits. They have a chance meeting down at the river on the "wrong"

I was truly amazed by The Secret Year! I picked up Jennifer R. Hubbards debut novel on a whim, but wasnt sure it was a novel Id particularly enjoy. Not only was the novel from a male point-of-view, which isnt usually my favorite, it was about a secret affair. I definitely didnt except Colts, and Julias, story to be so intensely moving.I ended up really enjoying the fact that TSY is from Colts point-of-view. Not only was it a refreshing perspective, it allowed for the story to unfold in a unique

This book is -awesome- I couldn't put it down, I practically had to put toothpicks in my eyes because I didn't want to sleep! I am actually kind of sad that I am done reading it, I might have to read it again!.... =).The book was very 'drawing' and actually funny...I loved Colt's humor! and I loved that it was told from him. All the romance type books I read are always told from the women's perspective! Ironically I was just thinking about how I wanted to read a book from a male POV, then I
