Sixteen-year-old Sana Kiyohara has too many secrets. Some are small, like how it bothers her when her friends don't invite her to parties. Some are big, like the fact that her father may be having an affair. And then there's the one that she can barely even admit to herself - the one about how she might have a crush on her best friend. When Sana and her family move to California, she begins to wonder if it's finally time for some honesty, especially after she meets Jamie Ramirez.

Excellent performance and interesting story
Revisado: 01-30-19
The performance and 90% of the story are near flawless but some bumps in the writing prevent me from giving it a perfect review. The story feels slow at times and rushed at others, especially towards the end. I would have liked to have seen more of Jamie and Sana rekindling, and perhaps more of Jamie's friends.
The supporting cast is extremely strong, and performed expertly by Emily Woo Zeller. It's rare that one can read/listen to a book one time and remember ever secondary and supporting character, even those only mentioned two or three times.
The cultural aspect really elevates this story above others in its respective genre, and the race dynamic between Jamie and Sana is far more nuanced than I expected going in.
To summarize, "It's Not Like It's A Secret" is a YA novel done right with rarely a dull moment, even in the parts where the story slows down. A must read for anyone interested in LGBT representation, asian culture, race dynamics, or just good reads.
8/10.
