The Admirer's Secret by Pamela Crane Book Review

 

I received a gifted copy and am providing a review. Not my picture.

Haley, the main character of this story, is an aspiring screenplay writer so when she gets a chance, she signs up for Allen Michaels’ college course. Mr. Michaels is apparently taken with Haley and tries to lead her down a road paved with his own secrets. Marc is another integral part of this story. He’s the good-looking computer guru that Haley hires to help fix her computer. Julie is also important, because what story would be complete without a little female competition? Then, there is Haley’s mom, Gabrielle, who kept Haley’s secrets hidden in order to try and protect her daughter. There came a point when she couldn’t help or hide her daughter’s troubles anymore. That is a hard realization for any parent.

Ms. Crane has an uncanny way of reaching deep inside a person’s innermost thoughts. If you are into psychological reads that are based on her own experiences, full of twists and turns you won’t expect, I highly recommend you read her books. This particular book, “The Admirer’s Secret,” explores the mind of one who is afflicted with erotomania. I applaud Ms. Crane for bringing forth some mental health issues that you usually don’t hear about. This book also brings forth how important it is to forgive those who have wronged us, not to forget the lessons learned, but to forgive in order to be able to move on. Though I have never personally experienced this sort of situation, I do know how important it is to forgive someone. You don’t do it for that person per se, you do it for yourself in order to move on.
