This is my first netgalley book and I couldn’t have picked a better one to start! I selected this title because romantic comedy is one of my favorites and I identified with the description of the main character having anxiety, ADHD and more. She is very relatable and I could absolutely put myself in her place. I highly enjoyed the wit, comedy, and romance of this book and highly recommend to fellow readers. I’m giving it 4 stars since I did have a tough time with the male leads character being too complacent and “whiny” if I may. Sometimes I skimmed through his sections because he put me off a little. I know where the author was coming from, but I just wanted reach into the book and shake both mains, saying “snap out of it! Get it together!” Him more than her obviously 😂 All in all very enjoyable and I can’t wait to see what else this author creates. A very good debut novel and hit some really hard topics with comedy and grace.

Flirty Little Secret Review
Rated 4/5

Wow! What a book! I want to thank NetGalley for this ARC.
I was drawn to this book when it said for fans of "Abbott Elementary". One of of my favorite shows! This book did not disappoint.

Lucy is so real. I love when I read a book and can see pieces of myself in a character. This book genuinely had be LOL a few times. Flirty Little Secret was sweet, funny, and kept you wanting more.

Lucy is a guidance counselor at a high school, where she meets Fletcher, the new, handsome history teacher. On the first day of school, Lucy spills the tea. Literally spills tea onto Fletcher for an awkward first encounter. Lucy runs an anonymous Instagram where she posts tips and tricks and advice to fellow followers. Lucy uses this page to be a more-bold, confident version of herself. Lucy suffers with anxiety and depression that can be debilitating at times for her. (The author does an amazing job writing about her feelings) Nobody knows that it is Lucy that runs this Instagram page. Until one day, while Fletcher and @TheMisguidedCounselor were sending messages back and forth, as they have been doing for over a year, Fletcher connects the dots that @TheMisguidedCounselor is Lucy! The same Lucy whom he works with and has been falling for each day. Fletcher has to work up the courage to let her know that he knows that @TheMisguidedCounselor is her, but Fletcher is scared that this could change his whole relationship with Lucy.

I had the chance to read this book when it was still in the drafting stage, and I can confidently say it was one of the funniest books I’d ever read! Lucy is so relatable in her vulnerability and depression but also in her sense of humour, and Fletcher was a sweetheart with her from the start! If you want something that is funny, steamy, and romantic, pick this one up!
