Review: Secrets in Our Scars - Rebecca Trogner ( Part #2)

Review: Secrets in Our Scars - Rebecca Trogner - February 2018

Daisy has led a pretty sheltered life; she never knew her birth parents as she was left on the doorstep of local business and was raised by two black sisters. They looked like an interesting family since Daisy was as white could be. Secrets in Our Scars runs through a few different storylines and in places it did feel a bit too much going on, but you did get the gist of the stories. We have Daisy and Roy's romance storyline after she met him on a movie set and he saved her from being raped. We have Daisy's search for her biological parents and the receiving of the gifts every year. Daisy also has a cutting problem, and that is where the title came from the "Secrets in our scars." We also learn a tragedy happened a few years back and a boy named Charlie died, Daisy hears Charlie's voice in her heads, and it's not a very nice voice as well. In a way, I found some of this story especially the mystery surrounding Daisy's birth and her parents very much similar to a plot from Virginia Andrews with her Flowers in the Attic Series.  I have to admit at first I had a thought her biological father might have been someone else but still in the same family , but I didn't see the major weird twist coming when Daisy's family history is revealed.  Secrets in Our Scars is a slow paced book to read and in places you may get confused by the various plot lines and tangents but other than that is a good psychological New Adult read and I do love the cover of this book.
