“I hope they have dental insurance.” CUE ME SCREAMING AT THE TIPPITY TOPPITY OF MY LUNGS.
We love Emily. We love a woman who doesn’t play with misogyny.
The drama… Just *chefs kiss*
LOGAAAAAN!!!! The man that you are. I am genuinely obsessed. We love a man who stands on business and doesn’t play around. More than that, he has so much depth, so much so much so much. He’s so likable and relatable. Genuinely one of the best book boyfriends I’ve ever read.
And Millie? We love a bad bitch. We love a woman who knows her mind. Seeing how she evolves through the story as she becomes more sure of herself and takes her wants into her own hands is beautiful. Such an empowering character.
Really, though? All the characters are so nuanced and well established. They don’t feel cookie cutter, copy and paste, or like a knock off of every popular trope (nothing wrong with popular tropes, I’m just happy with a little change of scenery). Each character feels unique and you don’t find yourself going “wait… who?” As you’re reading because they’re all memorable in their own way.
I received Best Kept Secret as an ARC through Smuthood, didn’t really have any expectations going into it because I completely forgot I applied for it while I was pregnant and desperate for reading material. Holy hell, it blew me away. I’m so glad I applied for this ARC and even more glad I forgot about it while going through the whole labor and delivery process because it made it that much more fun getting swept up into it and falling in love with the story and characters organically. I will absolutely be reviewing the first two books in the series imminently.
