That Secret Something

This was my first story by Emily Wright, but certainly not my last. I so enjoyed this book, funny, sweet, with a good amount of spice and the right amount of angst. Jess and Rebecca were such well rounded characters and I loved how things flowed between them. Lily was a great secondary character as well. So many times, I get a book bc the plot sounds amazing but then the writing is subpar and doesn't live up to the potential, not the case here. I definitely recommend this book if you want a fun, easy read.

Loved this! Loved the plot, the writing, the romance, and most definitely the characters. Jess is so relatable and Rebecca is so complimentary to her and grounds her so well, it was so heart-warming to read their story. Can't wait for what's next from Wright.

Emily Wright has done it again! That Secret Something is another fabulous story added to her catalog of must-read works. The MCs Jess and Rebecca are both thoughtfully written, with an electric rapport and engaging challenges they must overcome on their road to romance. As someone on the fairly anxious side, I loved how Jess’ anxiety was written and the way her intrusive thoughts were described. It made me really proud of her when she was able to break out of her shell herself. But also, Rebecca’s gentle understanding and efforts to help Jess made me fall for her a bit too! As a character, Rebecca oozes confidence (and witty quips), but the vulnerability she shows to Jess is where she really shines. The evolution of their relationship felt natural, and I liked that the story did not mess around with a “will they/won’t they.” Their… ahem… “talks” get right to the root of what they both want and things escalate from there. The steam in That Secret Something is HOT, and once it starts it doesn’t let up (the car scene had me sweating!). It all culminates in a heart (and cheek) warming story about the obstacles our loved ones/we place on our paths to happiness, and two people who should have started dating years ago. If you’re a fan of Delilah Green Doesn’t Care, small town romances, or friends-to-lovers, That Secret Something definitely belongs on your list!
