Flirty Little Secret by Jessica Lepe
2.0

You've For Mail meets Abbot Elementary school in this rom com about two teachers who are unknowingly best friends online who begin falling for each other in real life. Lucy Galindo is a school counselor with a secret, she's also the person behind the wildly popular blog @TheMissGuidedCounselor. Lucy may be shy and constantly trying to manage her anxiety and depression, however online, she is bold and confident. Aldrich Fletcher is the new history teacher that just transferred from a rich private school to get away from his drama filled family life only to find himself trying to dodge his ex-girlfriend who had cheated on him with his brother and is now currently working at a teacher at his new school and wants a second chance... and the fact that he's crushing on his new co-worker, a very cute guidance counselor... who just happens to be his online best friend @TheMissGuidedCounselor. Lucy and Fletcher constantly seem to run into each other at the worst possible time when they are seeing each other in real life but they are also constantly turning to each other online to ask for advice and talk to one another. Can these two take their online friendship and turn it into a real romance or are some things better left online. This was an okay rom com, both Fletcher and Lucy were dealing with a lot on their plates and the romance definitely took a back seat to their own problems. I guess for me, this book just didn't catch me as much as I had wish it did. Initially the premise sounded really cute but the overall story was just lacking the romance and the charm. It's not bad it's just not as memorable as I expected. I didn't really feel the romance between the two and their relationship just didn't exactly click for me. Overall if you like a rom com give it a go, maybe you'll have a better time with it then I did.
