Book Review: I Can't Keep My Own Secrets

Like reading books about teens like you? In I Can't Keep My Own Secrets: Six-Word Memoirs by Teens Famous & Obscure, you can read about other young adults and how they feel...in six-word sentences! Some are funny. Some are sad. Some are sarcastic. Some are uplifting. Some are heartbreaking.
But all are real.

Here are a few of my favorites:
"My status messages are about you." - Elissa S.
"Defined by numbers: age, weight, SATs." - Jocelyn P.
"I have blisters on my fingers." - Geoff B.
"I'm just a simple human. Being." - Nic H.

At the end of the book, there are a few by famous teens, including one from Taylor Swift (ever heard of her?) - "My diary is read by everyone."
