I probably read this b4 .. but it's definitely my cup of tea so here we go again.

What a cute story, a little up, a little down but all worked out in the end!

Loved this story.
Thanks for sharing x

I’m so glad I found this story! Love your writing, thank you.

Ok that compassion with her asking him to not see alice DOES NOT WORK. Alice doesn't like him like that and HAS NEVER MADE A PASS ON HIM, AND aren't they cousins?

See this shit is getting out of excuses Jasper's behavior cause if he had gotten what he wanted, he would have ruined 3 lives.

Bella should stop being friends with Jasper cause of how acted towards her and his hostility toward Edward.

Ultimately I feel sorry for Alice, cause it's apparent you are gonna have her wait for that asshole instead of having her find someone who actually loves her.

I think Edward has a right to be mad that Bella snuck off to talk to jasper. But him running away is cowardly.

Tho him not being there was a good thing in retrospect cause he would have called Jasper out on some of the BS excuses for his behavior.

WHY SHOULD ANYONE FORGIVE JASPER?

Unrealistic. Say that Bella was weak willed, and maybe kissed Jasper or let him getm ore handsys then he already did. Her relationship with Edwrd would e over.

JASPER FORCED HIMSELF on Bella, he damn well tried too, good thing she has a strong will.

Such a shame that you don't write on the site anymore. I just found this story and read it in two days it would be nice to have an epilogue to see how they ended up but I loved loved loved the story and your secrets and lies to I read that along time ago

Wow! Just wow!

Hi Kat!

Happy Mother’s Day my friend!

It has been so long since we have spoken but I hope you and the kids are doing well. I decided to read my favorite story again and I enjoyed it just as much if not more.

Did you ever finish the epi? Drop me a line and say hello when you can. My email is the same and so is my phone number.

Have an awesome Mother’s Day
XOXOXO

All's well that ends well.
I'm so happy that they all somehow found their way back to each other. It can never be like it was before but that's actually a good thing because what was before wasn't healthy and that's why it had to die.

This has been such a beautiful story about unlearning from one's childhood trauma and the sweet victory that awaits is just too amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this. It was special and a great read.

The end of their friendship has me feeling devastated. I just can't believe it's over just like that. It's like someone dying so suddenly and unexpectedly like in a car accident and you're supposed to understand that's it, they are gone and you're never going to see them again. Just like Jasper's mom dying... You're an amazing writer how you put it all together and the story keeps unraveling so naturally and so real. To think I thought this was a PWP kinda story from reading the summary. But I thought Secrets and Lies is still my favourite, I'm sure it will be a tasteful PWP. Gawd was I wrong! And I have never been so glad to be wrong!
You're an amazing writer because you're not afraid to be real without being dark. Your characters are always just human and there's nothing more beautiful and frustrating than that. Thank you once more for sharing your talent with us. I sincerely hope you are still writing.

Awww... They are in love.

And just like that it all falls apart...
So disappointed in Jasper.
I guess all those other girlfriends were right to be wary...

So many truths revealed in this chapter! Loved it!

Bella has grown so much I am so proud of her. I especially enjoy that she went from one friend to now four that she can count on. Yes, even Jasper still. I hope it's just Jasper's grief that's making him extra territorial over Bella and nothing more. Glad though that his behaviour made her stand up for herself and Edward and reach out to Jacob as true friends.

Poor Edward. Smart of him to change his environment.

I love how Edward and Bella are actually going through these changes in their life together because their background stories really aren't that disimilar. They both have troubled past relationships with their mothers still affecting them to this day; they both struggle with intimacy; they appear way different to others than they actually are; and they are learning from each other. In my eyes they are true soulmates. This is a beautiful story and not at all how assumed it would be from reading the summary. It's been an education
