My Secret

(Harper Collins)

My Secret is probably one of the stranger to books to’ve ever graced my coffee table. Seriously, who writes down their deepest, darkest secret, then mails it to someone to put in a book? From creepy (think consensual brother-sister sex) to cliche (bring on the cutters and the anorexics), this book covers the whole spectrum of things people don’t like to talk about. Even though My Secret is, at times, cringe-worthy, it still ends up being a fun read. The illustrations that accompany each secret are worth checking out, and the stickers on the first page are pretty sweet too. At the very least, you’ll get a little ego boost when you realize there are tons of people out there way more fucked-up than you are.
