On the surface, Eva Rice’s debut novel The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets seems almost like “chick lit”. On closer inspection it really is much more. You can read my full review here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/01/31/an-artistic-novel-and-thats-no-secret/

While I personally despise the label, I'm afraid that this book fits into the "chick-lit" category perfectly. Seriously, a book about a young woman's struggles with her nasty female boss who takes away her whole personal life in the name of fashion could hardly be something you'd see your macho male plumber reading, now could it? So yes, it's 100% pure, unadulterated "chick-lit", and anyone not looking for some fluffy, light reading material may close this review right now - I doubt you'll be interested in reading more.

YAWN.... DNF
This book is so boring. The subject matter had great potential, focusing on Anne de Bourgh from Pride and Prejudice. It's obvious from the first pages that this chick is addicted to laudanum, guess what, she's drugged up all the time! I was 30 percent of the way through this book, and Anne was only 20. Literally nothing happened, other than her figuring out she like chicks. Another trope, single chick back in the day = must be a lesbian. That was the death knell for me, I was out.
I cannot say it's poorly written, the writing was fine. It was just so damn boring.
