A daughter pushing the limits. A marriage ready to crack. A secret that can break them.

For Emily Rossi, life may not be perfect, but it's pretty close. She has a great career, a house in the country, a solid marriage to Eric and two wonderful children - tennis superstar Daniel and quiet, sensitive Zara. But when her fourteen-year-old daughter brings home a toxic new best friend, Emily’s seemingly perfect family starts to spiral out of control.

Suddenly Zara is staying out late, taking drugs and keeping bad company. And just when Emily needs Eric to be an involved father, he seems too wrapped up with his job in London to care. What’s more, he's started drinking again.

When a dark secret from the past emerges, Emily's life is turned upside down. Struggling to protect the people she loves, can she save her damaged family? Doing so may mean keeping a secret of her own....

Author tosses in disparaging LGBTQ remark for no reason

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

I was in the 5th chapter, hoping the slow start would soon improve, when I read this:
“ ‘Give him a bollocking but don’t ask him to spell it. Or it might be a she. Or an it. ‘ Then he says, darkly, ‘Or a they.’”
That last word was in italics. The other characters react with just a bit of banter about political correctness. This exchange had nothing to do with the story. It seems to be just tossed in to make it look current. My adult kid is transgender. This use of transgender and gender nonconforming people is reducing them to the role of curiosities to be bandied about for novelty’s sake. The author could do better.

Existential Crisis

Struggled to finish it

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

I hate leaving bad reviews, because bad reviews often read as petty and nit-picky. I am not an author but a fairly avid reader, and I am in awe of anyone who can actually write an entire novel. So, any author automatically gets points. That being said, I really struggled to finish this book. The last quarter of the book, I basically skimmed. I felt the story was just too long and dragged out. That probably stems from the fact that I couldn't connect with a single character from this book. No one, not even the kids, had any redeeming qualities. They were all shallow, both in character development and character portrayal. Especially the protagonist. She is incredibly shallow, judgey, entitled, and just completely unsympathetic. She is absolutely vile towards her daughter (and not particularly subtle about it) and then whines about how her daughter falls in with a "bad girl" and she can't understand WHY she's become so rebellious. The main character is overly obsessed with appearance, and bases much of her interactions with others on how they look. She is often mortified when she dresses " too nicely" for a photoshoot, or to hang out with her "best friend," to whom she is also crappy. The rest of the cast of characters are also so one dimensional, it's really hard to care about what happens to any of them. Some people may enjoy the "suspense" of the (predictable) "big reveal," and the Fatal Attraction feel to the story, however.
I'm sorry for the less-than-stellar review, but this was my particular experience reading this book.

Depressing story about some messed up characters

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book is not a light read, nor a fun read. If you like a lot of angst and very flawed characters, maybe it’s for you. While I know that no one is perfect, this book is about a real ugly mess. I did read all of it, but it left me feeling sad and depressed. No real redemption in this book.

Family Sinking With Secrets

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2020

Verified Purchase

From the outside, they Rossi family is the perfect family. Most families have a few issues, that is life, isn’t it? In the Rossi family, they have every problem packed into this family of four; alcoholism, drug addiction, jealousy, liars, accusations of racism, teenage angst, affairs, and denial.

Emily Rossi, the mother, is the narrator of this novel. She teaches Communication at the local university. Her husband, Eric, works in London during the week and is home on weekends. Daniel the oldest child is a super tennis champion, and Zara, the younger daughter, who is overweight, and the problem child. From the outset, we can identify the problems coming down the pike. I was a little put off at the obvious issues, and wondered if this was a simple storyline. No, the problems and issues escalate throughout this family, and never seem to stop.

At times we hear from Eric as he narrates his part of the family problems. An absent dad as he tries to make it up on weekends, but he can barely make his own life work. Daniel finds his way through tennis, and he takes a back seat while Eric, Emily and Zara run off the road. It is a little disconcerting to see so much angst in one family, but as time moves on, we can see that one problem causes another. No one seems to think of therapy until the family is so off the course, it may be too late.

I find it difficult to make a sufficient analysis about this novel, in some ways it is quite compelling, and in others it is too overboard. It seems like the characters have too much going on without all of them cracking up and falling apart. This is like a bad car accident, you can’t stop watching, but feel guilty about your curiosity.

Family Drama at its Best!

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

As Little White Secrets begins, the Rossi family is posing for pictures to accompany a feature article in a glossy magazine. Eric, the father who has a temporary job in London, is perhaps a bit too effusive. Mother Emily, a college professor, is proud of her family but worried about her appearance in her new green dress. Daniel, the son and superstar tennis player, is the subject of the article. His younger sister Zara, a bit overweight and uncomfortable with publicity, stands by awkwardly. In the magazine, six months later, they appear to be a perfect family. Things are not always what they seem.

The Rossis deal well with superficial problems, ignoring the serious fractures in their relationship that threaten to break it apart. While Emily deals with a career threatening situation and the handsome doctor next door, she ignores Eric’s manipulations and absences. When Janet and her daughter Bethany enter their lives, things begin to unravel. Zara falls under Bethany’s spell and her personality changes almost immediately. While Emily tries desperately to reconnect with Zara and distance her from Bethany’s friends, it becomes obvious that Eric has major hidden problems of his own. The explosive conclusion is both satisfying and sad.

Little White Secrets is a 5 star read. While I would have liked to see Daniel as a more developed character, the pressure his sports success puts on the family helps to explain why problems have developed. No one in the Rossi family is without fault. Their mistakes have been hidden too long and as Carol Mason slowly reveals them, you realize how much damage has been done. This is family drama at its best.

Little White Secrets

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 3, 2020

Emily is married to Eric and has two children Zara and Daniel, a rising tennis star. But soon Emily's life is turned upside down and things may never be the same again.
This is the first book of Carol Mason's I have read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was easy to read and moved at a good pace. And I must admit I never saw that final chapter reveal coming.

Forensic and fluid

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 28, 2020

Verified Purchase

A forensic examination of a family under strain, written in fluid, thoughtful prose. What impressed me most was that I finished reading with a feeling of empathy for all the characters, even the less than obviously attractive ones. Their motivation came across clearly and subtly. It’s arguably easier to write sympathetic characters and a far harder test of an author to make us care about the less attractive ones, and I felt this book achieved this well.

Slow start but stick with it

At first I really didn’t think I was going to like this book but wow, it really got a hold of me. I thought I had it figured out early on but there’s so many twists and turns and you can really get a hold of the characters. Excellent plot, excellent characters and overall an excellent read!

Long drawn out misery

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 25, 2020

Verified Purchase

There is nothing in this novel that I would want to remember. The few sympathetic characters are the peripheral ones. The next door neighbour lady lawyer, and the teenage son. The message of the novel can be summed up as: infidelity, lies and alcoholism wreck lives. Choose your life partner carefully.
