A fascinating glimpse into the secret lives of everyday people who confess their most personal sins, secrets and unspoken desires anonymously with a collection of handmade postcards. Each postcard in the collection communicates a dilemma or situation, from innocuously pathetic and amusing revelations through to sad, shocking, disturbing and devastating deceptions.

The mood you need to be in: Ready to laugh, consider, lament and pound your fist about the absurdity, tragedy, pathos and irony of life and relationships.

Read it when you: Need a distraction from something you're waiting for or something you're worried about. Or when you need to remind yourself that everyone has secrets.

The best part: Your mind will involuntarily return to the confessions you relate to, and you'll consider the secrets others might keep from you.

Other books on your nightstand: Even if you don't love books, you'll feverishly flip forward until the end of this book and immediately flip back to the front again. Everyone finds these personal secrets fascinating.

Words to live by: "When I was young I used to hate my body. Now that I'm older, I know better. I'm HOT!"

In a nutshell: Every time someone stumbles across this book, you'll find yourself gasping, laughing and debating about little known truths you know and what secrets remain.
