The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets is a witty story of 18 year old Penelope Wallace living in England around the end of the war. The story takes place with Penelope meeting and being friends with Charlotte in the most unlike-her sort of way.
Taking place in only a short amount of time (about 8 months) Penelope learns a lot about life. Penelope, her mother, and brother struggle with maintaining the Magna House that was left to them after her father died in the war. She learns that her brother is more grown up than she gave him credit for, and that her mother isn't exactly who Penelope always thought she was.
She goes through crushes, working, school, pop-star love, then realises she's in true love while her heart is breaking.
Charlotte, with her almost complete opposite self, gives Charlotte the ride of her life.
This is by far one of the best books I've read in a while.
