Keeping Her Secret (Endless Summer Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Sarah Nicolas (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars (438)

Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book contains drinking, sexual situations, and a fairy-tale romance sure to make your heart melt.

The last person Riya Johnson expected to run into at her new summer camp is Courtney Chastain—her childhood best friend and the girl who broke her heart after a secret, mind-blowing, life-altering kiss. She definitely didn’t expect to be sharing a bunk bed with her for four long weeks.

Courtney has what every girl wants—she’s beautiful, rich, and the object of every boy’s desire at Camp Pine Ridge. Too bad none of them make her feel an iota of what Riya’s kiss did all those years ago. But Courtney needs to uphold appearances at all costs—even if it means instigating an all-out prank war with Riya as her main target.

Neither girl can stop thinking about the other…but that doesn’t mean they can give up past hurts and take a chance on a future together.

Review

5 stars: "The romance was phenomenal! That lake scene left me feeling all tingly. And, of course, that final performance... awww, couple-goals! I really, really enjoyed reading this book and, honestly, this is the first F/F book that I loved." -Norah Una Sumner, Bookish Fever5 stars: "I felt that this book just worked. There is no other way to describe it, there was angst but it made sense with the ages of the characters and I didn't feel that it made them seem immature because they are 16 and 17 so any more maturity would have been unbelievable. I enjoyed this authors writing and sat up all night reading until I had finished." -CJ13, Goodreads Reviewer5 stars: "This book deserves all the praise and then some, one of my favorite reads of this year, and maybe even my life. So many parts inspired me, moved me and just made me want more." -Olivia Channel, OliviaChannel.com5 stars: "Keeping Her Secret is one of those magical books that keeps you turning pages long after you should have gone to bed. I recommend the book completely, and if I were a teacher I would place it on my required summer reading list." -Bonajean McAneney, Goodreads Reviewer5 stars: "I really loved this book. It was such an honest look at young women learning to accept their sexuality and being comfortable enough to express it." -Bette Hansen, Goodreads Reviewer5 stars: "A step forward for the LGBT community, Keeping Her Secret is a strong tale of friendship, courage and love. The book was moving and honest at all times, and kept a reasonable pace, making me want to continue reading the novel. Which is exactly what I did." -Cody Benson, Childishly Passionate-"Highly recommend for those looking for a swoony F/F YA romance." -Shelly, Read Sleep Repeat-"It does take a bit of a fairy-tale turn by the end of it, but you know what? That's okay because I think we all need a bit of fairy tale in our lives. This is a quick and fun read that I do indeed recommend." -By Hook or By Book-"A cute f/f relationships that has a happy ending. . Highly recommend. This one should definitely be on your TBR." -Megan, YA Bookers

    5.0 out of 5 stars Authentic portrayal of the many stages of self-discovery and self-acceptance for a gay teenager
    Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2025
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Sarah does an incredible job authentically walking the reader through the many (often painful) stages of self-discovery and, finally, self-acceptance for a teenage girl (Courtney) discovering that she is gay. It is poignant and beautifully written. I particularly love the contrast between Courtney and Riya, with Riya being completely open and proud of who she is. While this book originally came out in 2016, I like to think that now (in 2025) people would be more accepting, of others (particularly of their own children!) and of themselves, but possibly I am being too optimistic/naïve. This is a great read for everyone; even (I'd actually argue particularly) those who do not identify as queer. (The only thing that occasionally felt unrealistic to me was how well-adjusted Colt seemed, considering the parents who'd raised him! But my love for him let this slide.)

    I absolutely loved this book! The characters were complex and flawed and beautifully written, and the story kept me flipping Kindle pages all the way to the end. I don't read much YA, and this was my first experience with LGBT protagonists in a YA romance, but it definitely won't be my last. Fabulous read!

    3.0 out of 5 stars A contemporary Annie on My Mind
    Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2016
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Sweet book for those looking for a contemporary story in the spirit (with more teenage "mean girl" drama) of "Annie On My Mind." Annie on My Mind (AOMM) by Nancy Gardener was a groundbreaking (1982) young adult novel about two girls in high school who are in love. I will admit I read Annie (AOMM) MANY years ago, but from my memory of it Keeping Her Secret updates and expands it.

    Keeping Her Secret is an sweet love story with a "Mean Girls" bent and coming of age story.

    I highly recommend this for young people and their friends and parents as a great story showing young adults rising and falling as they face all of the pressures of growing up.

    One main character, Courtenay, struggles to accept her orientation and her terror of being gay and coming out. The other main character, shy Riya, is an out and proud bisexual who has been in love for years with her former best friend Courtenay. Riya learns how to be in a dating relationship with a closeted person but also learns to set boundaries and finds her voice in the midst of her shyness and insecurities.

    This book is very clean and IMO appropriate for high school age and beyond, as well as middle school and younger depending on the maturity of the reader. There is kissing, light touching and some frowned upon use of alcohol. Sexual content is very mild and rivals The Hunger Games and Divergent.

    Courtenay and Riya's friendship and love story are a main focus but the story also showcases other powerful themes: finding and being true to yourself, dealing with social cliques and strata, and working diligently to shape the direction of your life and education.

    I loved it and am happy to be able to have something else besides AOMM to recommend as a high school LGBTQ coming of age story!

    4.0 out of 5 stars I'm a sucker for a good summer camp romance between two women
    Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2017
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I'm a sucker for a good summer camp romance between two women, especially if at least one is just figuring herself out, because these are the types of stories I wish I'd had more of growing up, and am retroactively making up for, maybe? Also they're just fun! This book sort of fluctuates between falling in on teen stereotypes and challenging them entirely, which I personally didn't mind (I've seen much worse in YA fiction). There are some parts of it that are unclear as to who is narrating and the POV switches relatively fluidly, which might be jarring to some but over all I'm also not entirely bothered by. It does sometimes get confusing, but it wasn't enough to pull me out of the story, but I also find it's hard to pull me out of a story I'm enjoying.

    And that's what most of this book is: enjoyable. It's a good easy read with plenty of pining and some drama, and a happy ending.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Süßer Coming Out Roman
    Reviewed in Germany on October 26, 2016
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Lesbische Coming Out Romane gibt es ja jede Menge. Allein vom Titel her klingt dieses Buch wie 'Keeping you a secret'. Wie also kann ein neuer Roman in dieser Kategorie aussehen?
    Die Geschichte spielt in einem Sommerlager, in dem sich Riya und Courtney zum ersten Mal seit 4 Jahren wiedersehen. Nach einem Kuss, der für beide ein Wendepunkt war. Jedoch lief Courtney damals davon. Vor Riya und sich selbst. Inzwischen ist Courtney zur coolen Oberzicke geworden, die allen und vor allem sich selbst etwas vorspielt. Ihre Angst vor den Eltern und den von ihnen in sie gesetzten Erwartungen lassen sie sich selbst verleugnen. Im Gegensatz zu Colt, ihrem Zwillingsbruder, der Courtney besser zu kennen scheint als sie sich selbst.
    Riya dagegen ist in einem unterstützenden Elternhaus aufgewachsen und bekennend bisexuell.
    Im Sommerlager kommt es also zum Wiedersehen und der großen Frage ob Courtney und Rita zusammenfinden.
    Die Charaktere sind lebendig und glaubwürdig geschildert, was auch für die Nebenfiguren gilt. Courtney's Zwillingsbruder ist eventuell etwas zu nett und perfekt geraten. Die Romane ist süß ohne zu kitschig zu werden. Die üblichen Konflikte und Zutaten sind alle vorhanden.
    Die Aufgabe 'Schreiben Sie einen neuen lesbischen Coming Out Roman' ist gut gelöst.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and uplifting, but also well thought out and sensitive,
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 30, 2016
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Ripped through this one in two sittings. There's a lot more to this story than first meets the eye. It deals with the developing relationship between Courtney and Riya, but also themes such as growing up and moving on from the comfort of things you've always known, and the importance of friendship. It dealt really well with the tensions around coming out when one person isn't as open as the other, and the ways in which people can end up pressuring others without even realising they are doing it. Highly recommended.

    It's OK, reasonably well written and given one knows how it will end the author does a reasonable job in handling the obvious. Nothing too deep here, try Paper Dolls if you want that, but it's not at all bad and certainly a lot better than some of the efforts in this genre.
