Chick lit
It started with a secret is about how one secret can lead to several issues down the line but also something beautiful.

I love the style of writing, it flows between characters seamlessly and cleverly. The story is very feel good and the characters fit in well.

My only small criticism is around the title, I think the secret is a little underwhelming when it comes out. All issues are resolved fairly quickly.

"It’s ‘The White Hotel’ by DM Thomas because I’ve only read to about page forty-seven. I couldn’t get past the poem section, which is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever read. As one solid book of poetry and evocative writing, it’s the best. I thought I was in that poem; kind of similar to the way Leonard Cohen makes me feel like I’m in his songs. I’ve recommended it to anyone who I thought could read."

"I wouldn’t be here writing these lines but for Robert Bresson; when I was still a teenager, his films showed me what cinema could be, showed me how cinema could rival the masterpieces of the other arts. He showed me cinema was something worth devoting one’s life to. Ingmar Bergman once said that Tarkovsky moved effortlessly in areas most filmmakers struggled all their life to reach. I don’t think I’d be able to put it better than him."

Beautifully written fantasy
I absolutely love Erin Morgensterns writing, I just don't know how she comes up with these wonderful concepts. I loved the Night Circus but I must say this was even better. The concept was so clever and I really fell in love with the characters even the bad guys. I didn't see the ending coming and finished the book feeling numb.

I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this book and the beginning was a bit slow but as i kept reading it got better and suddenly I couldn't put the book down, it makes you question your own thoughts all the way through and I would have never guessed the ending in a million years but wow I loved the book so much.
