I CAN'T KEEP MY OWN SECRETS by Teens Famous and Obscure
I'm not going to say much about this one since it's not yet out on the bookstore shelves. Nor am I going to quote my favorites from it, you'll just have to read it and find your own. However, I will say that this book is the second or so in the Six-Memoirs series, after Not Quite What I was Planning. But of course you don't need to read the first one since it's not one big story, it's a slice of life from hundreds teens of the ages of 13 to 19 printed onto less than two-hundred pages.
A few memoirs will make you chuckle, others might not make much sense, some will seem a little cliche in a way. And then there will be those that leave you somewhat numb, you won't know how to react to it, it may be a "wow" or "whoa" feeling or something more like "what the heck?" or you just wouldn't have anything to say. It'll just make you think.
Either way, you might be able to relate to some of the memoirs and say that those six words sum up your life too, and say "hey, I'm not alone" or something like that.
Moving on, I Can't Keep My Own Secrets is a quick read and I think anyone that's slightly interested or not interested at all should just pick this little book off the shelf, randomly open to a page and read a couple memoirs. But... You'll have to wait until it comes out. Sorry.
