We all have secrets. Would you share yours?
Pugging school. Coming out. Accidentally becoming a killer. The people of Scotland confess to their deepest, darkest secrets; acts they regret, childhood adventures, or simply something they want to get off their chests.
These revelations are by turns, touching, alarming, macabre and funny. Including stories by well-known writers such as Lisa McInerney, June Dawson and Jo Clifford as well as the people of Scotland, this collection unlocks the nation's strangest secrets.
This book is a present to you from Scottish Book Trust to celebrate Book Week Scotland 2016.

I was given this for free by a friend during Book Week Scotland 2016. For a freebie, this isn't a bad collection of poems and short stories. Some of the pieces are pretty good. Needless to say, the pieces by well-known author such as Lisa McInerney are far superior. If not for these this would be a mediocre collection indeed. I liked the fact the pieces are thematically linked but all different, no two pieces were the same. The focus is on fiction and I would have preferred some more poetry. It was interesting seeing how different writers tacked the same theme. Not a bad collection but I'm glad it was free.
