I really am in love with "Please Don't Tell." This book is far better than "Never Say Never," the first book of Kelly Mooney that I'd read.

I think the plot of "Please Don't Tell" is so perfect and really into it. The story's about Sophie's being in love with a guy, Ethan, who she doesn't want to be fallen with. It's because she's so many dreadful memories about him when she was a little girl. I like the way that Kelly Mooney showed such a pure, simple but beautiful love between Ethan and Sophie More...

Ugh! I should have listened to my gut feeling. Nothing good comes out when the heroine is 16 but acts like she is 12. Sophie is a blubbering idiot and a brat. This book is just too YA for me.

Who is the intended audience?: Teenage girls & adult women.

What is the main issue or problem the book addresses?: Sophie has been in love with Peter forever. Now Peters cousin, Ethan, pops into the picture.

Setting: At the beginning it's at the beach, and at the end it's just at Sophies house and school.

Description of main characters: Sophies a beautiful 16 year old, and Ethans tall and handsome with an accent.

Summary: Sophie has been in love with her childhood friend Peter since childhood. O More...

“I’ve always had a crush on Peter Watson and for the life of me, couldn’t figure out how he didn’t know.” Please Don’t Tell by Kelly Mooney is a wonderful teenage romance novel. Sixteen-year old Sophie Gerrard has been in love with her close friend, Peter Watson since childhood. She planned on telling him that she loves him during their families’ vacation together in the Caribbean.

Oh My God. Words can't even begin to express how much I love this book. I love the plot, the characters, the tone . . .everything. I loved Sophie even though at times she frustrated me but that just added to her character appeal because everyone cannot be and will never be perfect. Ethan . . .my hero. I loved him. He was probably the most genuine and honest person throughout this story and it didn't hurt that he was so damn hot too. Who am I kidding. . .I'm a big fan girl over here. Whoooooo!!! More...

A great summer read for YAs! It's a contemporary romance book, and I really did enjoy it. The whole book actually spans over a whole year, and that's why the novel is a bit lengthy. Even though it's pretty predictable, it's still good and some parts were hilarious. The whole "please don't tell" part actually happened extremely early in the book, and I didn't think it would.

The story between Sophie and Ethan is extremely adorable and cute. The one part that I loved was the Question game that the More...

I loved this book soooooo much! It was so cute, so romantic and omg i absolutely loved Ethan! This, for sure, is gonna and will always be my go-to-book.
I loved Sophie and her secrets and her ability to crack me up most of the times; and Sophie with Ethan was like the icing on the cake. And ah, Ethan :) Who wouldn't love him?! I must confess, at the beginning i hated that son of a gun. But after the boat scene, well i'd be an idiot to not have fallen for him. And okay, one more reason i absolutel More...

I read a sample of this on my nook the other day and decided that I totally had to have it and so I ended up purchasing it. I honestly thought it was a pretty good read. Sophie is just like a typical teenager. She’s in head over heels in love with her best friend and after a disastrous kiss the year before on their annual vacation, Sophie is determined to get Peter to notice her. She never saw it coming when he brought not only a new girlfriend but his cousin Ethan. The boy who tortured her duri More...

So even though there were errors in the books as I was reading it I really enjoyed it. The firt book from this author that I read I was not very impressed with. However I feel this book was 10 times better than the first on I read. I loved Ethan in this book. Who wouldn't, british and australian. Talk about hottie. Not only that he was so sweet with Sophie's little brother always willing to play xbox with him even though he was 8 years older than her little brother. From the beginning I liked Et More...

My first thought was that Sophie must be an idiot for holding on to the dream of a relationship that is never going to happen. She waits every year for the family vacation so she can see her crush for two weeks and then not again for another year. She's not interested in any boys back home. Well, that's not entirely true. She was dating a boy named Jason that she wasn't all that into. But she never fell for any boys back home, holding out for Peter to notice her as a woman.

When she sees Peter th More...

I so loved this book more so than I thought. I love being sick because that gives me an excuse to go through my kindle and find a book that has been on there forever and read it. That is what I did and I was so glad I did. I love Sophie and Ethan they work even in the beginning when she hated him. They challenge each other while remaining honest (mostly) with each other. I love the fact that Peter her childhood crush was all for helping is cousin Ethan be with Sophie. At first, I did not like Cl More...

It was Good~

It was nice reading something light and feel good.
its about being being attracted to the person you don't want to be attracted with, because of what you experienced with the person while you were young.
i love the book so much because it lets you experience how young love can be, and how pure and significantly big it is.

I love how the character were written, how they grow with the story progressing.
I love Ethan his sweet. and he really knows what he want, i love how he love Sophie, ev More...

"Please Don't Tell" by Kelly Mooney is for all the sweet romance junkies out there. It is a quick easy read.

Sixteen-year old, Sophie Gerrard has been in love with her close friend, Peter Watson since childhood. But when Peter arrives for their yearly mutual vacation with a girlfriend and his cousin Ethan, her plans change.
Sophie agrees to go island hopping with Ethan, to avoid Peter. But when their dinghy capsizes, Sophie and Ethan are forced to swim to a cliff of rocks. She never planned to s More...

Aparte de que la protagonista tiene el nombre de Sophie (Me encanta mi nombre), realmente me ENAMORÉ de Ethan. Me encantan los chicos que tienen una historia de trasfondo y que gracias a la protagonista logran superarlo o se olvidan finalmente de él. Jason es un imbécil, no entiende que Soph no se siente totalmente lista como para pasar la tercera base y aún así sigue adelante con su plan. En un segundo pensé que el libro había leído mis pensamientos, el segundo nombre de Sophie es Anne, y sin d More...

Vale, solo puedo decir: ETHAN.
Dios, empecé a leer este libro porque me lo recomendó
una amiga, cuando leí la sinopsis fue como: Se ve bien.

Pero el contenido es MEJOR que bien se los aseguro. No
pude apartar mis ojos de la lectura, porque se los digo,
muchas partes son tan divertidas. Sophie y sus pensamientos,
y Ethan, oh, Ethan. Creo que simplemente me enamoré.

No puedo decir que todo fue divertido y de color de rosas, ningún
libro es así, están felices y PUM adiós felicidad, hola sufrimiento.
Y si h More...

Kindles make word over usage fun and easy to spot. Inch was used 17 times.

"Her tongue licked every inch of my face." Regarding a dog. Vomit and I love my dog.
"Disgust tugged at every inch of my body." Especially at the elbows.
"...licking my face inch by inch." Regarding the dog again.

Although the last three involve a hot guy, I think there is a definite point where thoroughness stops being commendable. Were I the editor I would suggest the following addenda (look who's fancy and looked up the p More...

Read this as a recommendation from a fellow GR friend, very glad I listened. Such a sweet story. I really liked how Sophie was a die hard romantic and we got a small glimpse into her childhood crush and how Peter and Ethan played a huge part in it. I would of given 5 stats but there were a lot of grammatical errors and typos that were slightly annoying but I was really into the story that it wasn't too much of a pain. I do have to agree with my fellow GR friend, if you are a sucker for romance t More...

Sophie siempre ha estado enamorada de su amigo de infancia Peter, y en las vacaciones anuales de sus familias de este año era su gran oportudnidad de confesarle su gran amor. Pero las cosas no salen realmente como ella pensaba, Peter arriba con una novia y su primo Ethan el que ella habia odiado desde siempre. Y las cosas van de mal en peor desde ese momento. Tal vez se dara cuenta de que siempre ha estado completamente equivocada de a quien ella realmente ama.


Estuve enojada con Soph practicame More...

It was a cute summer romance. What do you do when the guy you've liked most of your life brings his new girlfriend on your once a year family vacation? You hang out with his cousin, who happens to be your tormentor from childhood. But it seems he may have grown into a sweet, Aussie/ British accent speaking cross between Jude Law and Beckham seventeen-year-old who you just told all your secrets to. Now after the vacation he's staying with you and your family for an exchange program, could things More...

waaahhh!!! i love it so much ..

i thought the ending would be like Ethan going to college in America to be closer to Sophie.
i was waiting for the big revelation to come, but it didn't .. hahah!!
well, their set-up for Sophie to be an exchange student in London was also a good idea but i can't stop thinking about what would happen after that .. what would they do to stay together?
i know Sophie has plans on going to college in England to be closer to Ethan but i guess, it's kind of more romantic if More...

I accidently stumbled upon this on Amazon, and after debating with myself (I just read a similar book that I didn’t enjoy that much), I decided to give it a try. And I’m glad I did.

Yes, there are some grammar mistakes and spelling errors. And some scenes/situations could have been described a little better/more detailed. But all in all was it a sweet and romantic love story that had just the right amount of teasing and banter, and longing and lingering glances in it. And lots of kisses too, of More...

I really liked the book.

And let me tell you that this books is much better than it looks.

I loved the protagonist, Sophie.
There were times when I couldn't stop laughing at her crazy thoughts. And of course, I loved Ethan.

The boy is a sweetheart.

And yes, I mean, who doesn't love a boy half british half Australian?

I do, haha

I loved the game of tug of war between these two, the tension kept me in suspense, haha​​.

I read it very quickly but I really enjoyed every moment of reading. More...

Kelly Mooney’s work of art, Please Don’t Tell is a truly enjoyably book. From the first line: “ I've always had a crush on Peter Watson” to the very end, Mooney keeps the reader drawn in completely to her fantastic book. Sophie has had a crush on her best friend Peter for almost her entire life, and for the last year, she has been planning on confessing her love to him during their family vacation. When Sophie and her mother arrive in England, not only has Peter brought his girlfriend, but his c More...

Hmmm... I read it and at the end, it just left me sat there, waiting for something interesting to happen.Don't get me wrong, it's a cute, thoughtless summer read for teen girls, but with just a few tweaks it could've been so much better.

- The writing, punctuation etc. was at some times quite sloppy, and I think she should fire her editor. In fact, it was written how you would expect a fan fiction to be written
-The plot was basic, easy, and you knew what was going to happen in the end. It didn't More...

I was so sad for Sophie at the beginning of the book. However she seemed a bit immature in how she acted about the whole situation. When Ethan comes for his study abroad, she is just down right bitchy. Ethan is a young man who is briken after loosing his dad in an accidet. He is so obviously in love with Sophie and she diesn't act on her feelings for so long. The end of this story is very sweet and makes me anxious for the next book.

OMG, this was wonderful. I think I may have shedded a tear toward the end. Loved it. So romantic. I could not put it down. I wanted to read through the night, but I had to go to work, the only reason it was not finished in a day. Love Love Love Ethan. Would have like to have heard his point of view, even though he did get his points across. Beautiful read for anyone who is a sucker for Romance. Definitely recommend :D !!

Maybe 2.5...

I didn't really like it as much as I hoped I would, which is really disappointing.
This book could have been SO much better (some of the ideas, if better executed, could have been brilliant), but I just didn't connect with the story, the romance or the characters that much :(

That said, it's still a quick, cute read, (another in-between-er-er) :)
I'd recommend it for girls between the ages of 13-15....

I really enjoyed this; it's the perfect teen romance novel for the summer. At first, I didn't Sophie's character but she grew as the story went along. I loved Ethan's character, so sweet throughout. I wished Kelly made the epilogue a few years later instead of 44 days later..I really would have liked to see Sophie and Ethan together and married! I also wish Ethan's drinking issue could have been resolved.

Sophie, Sophie, Sophie...girl, you make me laugh! This book was a fun read, definitley YA with a few swoon worthy moments mixed in. Ethan was such a great character and the back history between the two made for a great story. I'm just glad Sophie decided to be so mature about her arse of a boyfriend "Jason the Jerk". Don't want to say too much and spoil any of the story. Great Job Ms. Mooney.
