The Best Kept Secret

“To families.” Mandi thrust her glass in the air. “The good, the bad, the messy, the complicated, and the totally ***-up.”

This book sure has plenty of family drama, leaning very much towards the messy / complicated end of the scale. And let's not forget the awkward, with a capital A. And yet, my favorite scene was (the build-up towards) THE BIG REVEAL - that had me biting my nails and snort-laughing in turn. (And yes, Seth is hands down my favorite character in this book.)

What didn't work quite as well for me was the Nyla-can't-keep-a-secret-to-save-her-life part of the plot, especially when everyone (including Nyla!) decided that getting her tipsy might help her keeping THE BIG SECRET? I honestly have no idea in which universe this kind of “logic” would make sense.

TL;DR: Not my favorite in the series, but still full of Tawna Fenske's trademark humor, heat, and heart.
