Cover Reveal: The Secrets We Kept by Lily Velez

The Secrets We Kept by Lily Velez 
Publication date: Fall 2015
Genres: Contemporary, Romance, Young Adult

Synopsis:
One year. That’s how long it’s been since childhood sweethearts Sully Graham and Cadence Gilbertson broke up, since one adoption and one out-of-state move turned their worlds upside down.
Suddenly, Cadence is back in New York City, but something’s different about her. The light in her eyes, the music in her laughter, the warmth in her smile—all of those things have entirely vanished. In their place stand the makings of a girl Sully can’t even begin to recognize, much less understand.
Still, despite the collective history of heartbreak between them, he’s convinced he can win her trust again, and he’s committed to proving the invincibility of their love no matter what it takes.
But Cadence is quietly harboring secrets of her own. Dark secrets. Ugly secrets. Secrets that could break a person. And though broken herself and unbearably lonely, she’s determined to protect Sully from her terrible, biting truths. Even if it means locking him out of her life forever.
The only problem is it seems her heart hasn’t quite received the memo. One glimpse of him is all it takes for her to trip into familiar (and, she’ll admit, addictive) feelings that threaten to all but consume her. Now her biggest fear is that her secrets will begin to slowly unravel one by one…long before Sully’s resolve ever does.
The Secrets We Kept is a moving story about first love, friendship, and forgiveness, and the enduring bonds that forever connect us and give us our strength.

A型血的雙子座,其實有點詭譎,讓人第一瞬間認不出是雙子

A型血的雙子人看上去往往不像其他血型的雙子座人那麼外向活潑好動,有點讓人們難以一眼辨別出他們的雙子星座。他們的筆頭表達往往更優於他們的口頭表達。A型雙子座人是有點老成的,充滿了書卷氣的知識份子型的人物,甚至時不時會有點小憂鬱。A型血人具有著固定性穩定性的本能,這與雙子喜愛變化的天性是有點衝突的。
A型血的雙子座人的優勢在於,A型血的持久精神,配合了雙子座天性中的聰穎,彌補了雙子座的不耐久,在他們感興趣的領域,總是能夠用心的鑽研下去,對於問題思考的深度也往往更優於其他血型的雙子座,如果努力的方向正確,是能夠做出一定成就的。
A型血的雙子座人對於愛情的表達不是過於害羞就是過於大膽,一旦喜歡上一個人也容易想的很多,造成神經緊張。仿佛是內心另一個活潑的自己的投射,有時候他們會被特立獨行的甚至有點張揚的人所吸引,讓人們大跌眼鏡。A雙子的天性中有點喜歡悲劇式的愛情,來點曲折離奇的情節,才夠味道。

Yes, IU again





Obsessed already.

Lyrics: Eng. + Rom.

Is she still so great?
Does your heart drop just by a single phone call?
You even forgot what you were saying and think about something else
My heart is more surprised at your quickly hardened face
I’ve never met her but I really don’t like her

How much did you like her to be like this?
How much did you love her to be like this?
What was so great about her?
Why are you like this?

You said you forgot her, that you erased all of her
That it’s all in the past so you don’t even remember
But in reality, are you still embracing her in your heart
And still not being able to let her go?
I’ve never met her but I really don’t like her

How much did you like her to be like this?
How much did you love her to be like this?
What was so great about her?
Why are you like this?

How much did you like her to be like this?
How much did you love her to be like this?
How can you make even me be in pain?
Until when are you going to be like this?

Why is she calling you when she coldly left you?
It’s frustrating to see you pick up the call too
As I see you go through this, I still stick by you
For that, I’m the bigger fool
I’m the bigger fool for waiting for you

How much did you like her to be like this?
How much did you love her to be like this?
What was so great about her?
Why are you like this?

How much did you like her to be like this?
How much did you love her to be like this?
How can you make me be in pain?
I’ve never met her but I really don’t like her
