Normally I would view a book with pink edges to its pages, that had been recommended by Richard and Judy, as one to avoid, but not The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets by Eva Rice. I'm not sure why I picked it up in the first place, but I read a few pages and was hooked. And it was only £3 and something, so I somehow was compelled to carry ti to the counter...
I've just finished it. It's sweet and funny and a little sad. It's rather in the mold of I Capture the Castle—about love and growing up, and very English—although set 20 years later. I wonder if the author has read it....

thanks for the rec. I might have to pick it up... I adoreded I Capture the Castle (of which they supposedly made a movie... I should try to hunt that up).

The ICTC film is quite good—a more or less faithful adaptation. Here's my review from—I can't believe that that was threee years ago!

thanks :).
