The Innocents Giveaway
Lili Peloquin
NOTHING ever came between sisters Alice and Charlie.
But then their lives were ripped apart when their parents divorced and their mother married again so quickly they didn't even get refills on champagne. Richard Flood (the third) has major skeletons in his closet: a wife and a daughter -- now dead -- both from a previous life that still haunts him. Reserved, slightly older Alice and feisty, younger Charlie don't trust their stepfather, and they dread moving to his summer estate in the old-money coastal town of Serenity Point, Connecticut -- a place they refuse to like and where they know they'll never belong.
The sisters promise to stand by each other for the rest of the summer. Come Labor Day, they'll be shipped off to boarding school. But their arrival at Serenity Point disrupts the power dynamics of the carefully constructed summer social scene.
BOYS couldn't.
For Tommy and Jude, the sisters reopen old wounds and reignite a vicious rivalry. For Cybill, they're a reminder that some memories never stay buried. There are friends the girls aren't sure they can trust -- and boys they know they shouldn't.
THEIR FAMILY falling apart never would.
Before Alice and Charlie can begin to understand the rules that come along with money, the depth of their strange family history, and just how closely they're connected to their dead stepsister Camilla, they're sucked into this strange and seductive life. A life that threatens to tear them apart the harder they fight to stick together. A life they can't help but hate, and can't help but love.
UNTIL they got to Serenity Point.

I can't keep big secrets from those I'm close too. I tried that life once and it made me very unhappy. I'm often told I'm too honest, but I feel better about myself now.
ReplyDeleteno no big secrets from anyone.
ReplyDeleteI don't keep big secrets anymore. No good can come of them.

I can't keep secrets from people who I am very close to. It's just my nature..I guess. I would always feel guilty, so I don't even bother! lol ;p
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
This is a hard one for me to answer. I'm a vault when it comes to the secrets of others. For me... there is a line, I suppose. Before the line, I will tell anything to anybody. After the line, I will tell no one, not even a best friend. I'm not sure why this is.
ReplyDeleteI try not to keep things from my family, but there are some things that would hurt them so I keep them locked inside of me. But friends and stuff? Yeah, I have trust issues with everyone who's not family.
ReplyDeletei always tell anything to my mom...
ReplyDeletewe are very close...
thanks for the great post and giveaway! I don't keep "huge" secrets. I don't like the pressure or lying.
ReplyDeleteI have secrets from different folks, don't know if I will tell them or not; would probably depend on the circumstances down the road :) Thank you for sharing with us and for this generous giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI don't keep big secrets anymore.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I really have any big secrets to keep. I'm a pretty boring person.
ReplyDeleteI dont think that there is anyone that I keep any big secrets from. I guess this is a really boring answer!
ReplyDeleteI don't really have any big secrets. I can't really keep them secret. I'm always talking.
ReplyDeleteNo, I can't keep secrets
ReplyDeleteI don't really have any secrets. I'm pretty much an open book!

no big secrets to share
ReplyDeleteI don't tell secrets. They usually just cause more problems than just telling the truth. Thank you for this amazing giveaway! I've been wanting to read The Innocents for a while. Thank you for the chance to win!

I'm good at secret keeping - big & small. I will never tell.
ReplyDeleteI don't keep secrets!
ReplyDeleteI have a secret, but since it's mine I don't want to share it, not even with my best friend.
ReplyDeleteI don't keep any big secrets. I've never really had any that I needed to keep. :)
ReplyDeleteDepends on the secret, most of the time I don't like to keep secrets BUT I do have 1 or 2
ReplyDeleteI don't really keep secrets from people I'm sort of an open book, but being an open book people usually feel comfortable telling me their secrets. I always feel like I'm keeping other people's secrets which can feel like a big burden!
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm good at keeping secrets but I'm not so good at keeping what's bothering me a secret.. I prefer to pour my heart out and tell the truth most of the time but if it's serious and it needs to be kept a secret I can do it.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! Of course I do! I keep a lot of things from them but of course they still trust me despite all those. :)) But only the true ones. ;)
ReplyDeleteI might tell them some of it one day but not all. :D
I do keep a couple secrets and I probably won't tell anyone close to me.
ReplyDeleteI am so not good at keeping secrets. Whether big or small, they never remain secrets for long.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any big secrets right now and I can't even remember the last time I had one. Sometimes I won't want to tell certain people small things but they are never big and a huge deal.
ReplyDeleteNo. I'm horrible at keeping secrets.
ReplyDeleteYes. I'm not planning to tell them. It's so hard to talk about them.
ReplyDeleteI hate keeping secrets!!
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't have any big secrets
ReplyDeleteI have some secrets that I don't think I can tell anyone, at least not yet. Maybe someday.
ReplyDeleteI don't keep big secrets, thankfully :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have any big secrets, thankfully! They just eat at you after a while.

I'm not a huge fan of secrets. I feel like they always come back to bite.
ReplyDeleteNot really. All of my closest friends and family know about me, the good and the bad. ;)

ReplyDeleteNo I don't keep big secrets from anyone. Especially from my family. The guilt from hiding something that big would just eat away at me. Thank you so much for a chance at winning in your awesome giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there's a few things I did in High School and college that I haven't told my parents about - maybe someday I will.
ReplyDeleteI don't keep big secrets from anyone - little ones yes, but not big ones.
ReplyDeleteHmm.. I guess we all keep secrets from someone or our loved ones :D
