This book was chosen as the inaugural book for my newly formed club! My friend Lyndsay and I decided to gather some girls from our on line message board and meet monthly at Panera to discuss books! A good idea on so many levels!
I must admit that I wasn't thrilled with the selection. Diane Chamberlain's The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes did not seem like MY type of book. Mystery, a bit of romance and secrets... a bit of a Harlequin romance in my opinion. But, I was shocked at just how riveted I became as I read the story.
CeeCee Wilkes is a very naive young woman. She gets swept up in a romance with an older man. He says all of the right things. If he makes a misstep in their relationship he always has an excuse to pacify her fears. She is head over heels in love with him, and believes that the feelings are mutual.
What happens next is a series of seemingly implausible events that Chamberlain is able to weave together into a fabulously suspenseful story. CeeCee's world is turned upside down. I could not put the book down. There were times I wanted to scream or slap CeeCee, but through it all I just had to know the eventual outcome.
