How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 stars5 stars – Tissues at the ready… you’re gonna need them!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 November 2021
Hello and welcome to Laura's pre-reading safety guide for The Story of Our Secrets by Shari Low. Thank you for joining me today. Are you comfy? *claps hands* Let’s begin…

Please keep the seatbelts provided fastened at all times as you ride this emotional rollercoaster of a read.

Tissues, if required (aye right!), should be located to your left and right with extra supplies under your seat. *whispers and points* I also find tucking a couple up my sleeve and/or in my bra for ease of use very handy. Never fear if you run out, just holla and emergency tissues can be delivered asap.

Refreshments are a must but beware of scalding from hot drinks when you encounter a WTF? scene and/or spontaneous bouts of belly laughter. No one needs to explain where that blister came from *snorts*.

Emotional eating is a common side-effect of reading Shari Low books (I know from personal experience!) so wear your elasticated pants for extra space. Side note: neither the author nor the publisher can be held responsible for the movement on your scales!

For emergency purposes only:

• It is advisable to have a drinky-drink *winks* on hand. Totally for restorative purposes only, you understand. Just for those ‘gird your loins’ moments. You know the sort I mean!
• Your nominated hug person for those ‘I need a hug’ moments.

Also, before we go, I’m taking names for my own Sad Git’s Recovery Club. Remember and leave your details before you leave.

Right, are you ready? Well, as ready as you’ll ever be…

You’ve got this!

See you on the other side.

I don’t call Shari Low the Queen of Storytelling for nothing.

Hmm, now where did I stick those cucumber slices? These eyes won’t de-puff themselves…

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant read!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 November 2021

I was so pleased to receive my pre order and this book is just as wonderful as all the others. Because clever Shari Low carefully connects up the loose connections and families in her books we are so invested in the characters. I love that the stories move from a book in Scotland then like this one off to London. It is a lovely story dealing with friendship, betrayal, grief and love. I sat down and read this in a day: kindle to phone at school pick up. Loved it. Unputdownable and can’t wait for her to write the next.

Another fantastic read from Shari, sharing all her family with us.
Thank you for two hours of sobbing into my tissues and leaving me with a runny nose and red eyes, and my husband shaking his head at me because I'm crying Again while reading a book (he is so Colm).

I loved this series. Shari is a superb writer anyway but these books could not have been bettered. You fall in love with every character and everything they bring to the story which is so full of emotional rollercoasteringing you can't stop reading to eat drink or sleep. Goes to the top of my all time favourite reads, magnificent work Shari low

Well I've just mopped up my tears and felt I needed to leave a review straight away. I read the last chapter and epilogue with the biggest lump in my throat but smiling too.
I just loved this book and wanted to be friends with all the characters, even the force of nature that is Lulu, and would have loved Colm too.
Highly recommend this - with a tissue to hand.

This was a beautiful read. Such sadness but so much warmth and love between these characters. You felt you were right there amongst them . Each contributed their own worth and their love for each other. This one will stay with me .

I love Shari’s books and this was no exception, read in a weekend. Great to pick up and put down, easy to read, a bit of humour, a bit of sadness and a whole lot of love.

Absolutely loved this book. Characters that are written in a way that you feel that they are your mates too and you are on the pages with them. Thanks Shari Low for writing such an addictive and beautiful story.
