Alexis Berkley is normally a popular teenager and this had made her feel confident and good about herself, so much so that her friends catch her admiring herself in her bedroom mirror.

But of late she thinks there may be something wrong with her. Her best friends dispute this.

Alexis receives an anonymous letter from a secret admirer and her imagination runs riot and gets her into various scrapes such as deciding that Kip who is the hunkiest boy in the school with a Scorpio personality is definitely the one. The author plays this character’s personality true to form and has her heroine falling for him and in much defence of him, to later feel embarrassed after discovering the Romeo sting in Kip’s tail.

Alexis learns that she needs to listen to the good advice different people around her offer her and that Kip didn’t acquire his nickname for no reason.

She grows and makes saner decisions amidst family traumas and this allows her to discover who her true friends are while still questioning who it is that is sending anonymous love letters.

The 'secret' admirer mystery is revealed and he is the last person she suspected. This book is truly a bubbly, sweet and flavorsome book nurturing today’s youth as readers of tomorrow’s romance novels.  Secret Admirer had a sensible message to those desirous of hanging out as a couple.

I felt someone should have applied the computer’s spellcheck and sought out the non-sequential mistake in the action of the characters, but otherwise an easy delightful read.
