As I have been working through my secret life theme this month the movie “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” popped into my mind a number of times. This movie came out in 2005. It stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie or John and Jane Smith. Basically they presented as a dull married couple but they both have a secret; they are both leading double lives.

It seems that secret/double lives are a great book and movie topic particularly with super heros and spy/assassin types. The Bourne Series pops into my mind as well as Superman, Batman, Spiderman… Even cartoons make use of this theme.

“Boss Baby”

“Secret Life of Pets”

What books or novels pop into your mind when you think about secret lives?
