The Worst Kept Secret by Q.B. Tyler

5.0

Avery became best friends with Theo’s kids when they moved next door to each other. As they grew up, Theo’s son had feelings for her, but they were never reciprocated because Avery had a crush on his dad. The story starts at her college graduation party when Avery wants to act on her feelings, especially since she knows Theo feels similarly to her after events transpired between them during the past year. As their relationship develops, secrets begin to grow, and so do the difficult conversations about how their relationship will affect his son and her best friend and what price they are willing to pay. While this is happening, there are parallels with Theo’s daughter’s relationship with her older boss (I would like to see more of their story) and everyone growing to accept that. This is everything you would expect from a Q.B. Tyler book, and it has become one of my favorites of hers.
