Welcome back to The Lit Library! Settle in with us as we get into this special episode to discuss the final book of T.M. Richardson’s The Secrets Series, The Opportunity. We meet Nadine and her judgemental ways in The Oath, and we tolerate her in The Offer, but we finally learn her story in The Opportunity. Shawndra, Fancy, and Candice sit down to talk about the unique spin Tati puts on her story and we all have differing opinions on this being Nadine’s redemption arc. We want to know how Nadine’s story made you feel?
