My review:

Juniper (23) & Beau (28) have known each other for ages, and she’s had a secret crush on him for just as long. She practically grew up in their house because her parents have no interest in being in her life. Truly heartbreaking, but the found family is so well done that you can’t help but be happy she has them to support her.

Avery is the bff and sister and I absolutely could not stand her. I couldn’t stand her so much that I will not be reading her book, I just can’t. She was so awful and I just can’t see myself enjoying it at all, so it’s best to just pass. While we’re discussing her ~ how did she not know Juniper has been pining over Beau for all these years? Too self absorbed it seems. She has no work ethic and just gives off too much of a spoiled rich bi!ch vibe for me. She spends most of her time clubbing, partying, getting manis/pedis and drinking starby’s.

Anyway, June and Beau started texting on an app. The thing is that she knows it’s him and he has no clue who he’s talking dirty to. I’m not super big on deception like this, but Beau was sweet and I’m so glad he did not have any interest in her back in the day due to their age gap.

Overall, their banter was pretty great and as I said above the support of the found family parents was perfect, therefore I’ll round up my rating. This will probably appeal to those in the new adult phase of their life.

Narration notes:
I love love love! when it’s duet narration 🥳🙌 I think it really gives it more pizazz!

Book blurb:

How good are you at keeping a secret?

Because I, Juniper Perry, have been keeping a big one.

For over a decade, I’ve been crushing on the guy with the easy smile, warm brown eyes, and charismatic charm. He’s all the perfect things that, when you add them up, spell out Man of my dreams.

I know that doesn’t sound bad at all, but there’s more to this story…

We work together. I’m a lowly intern, and he’s a high-powered executive.

He’s my newest neighbor. No joke—he’s temporarily living next door to me.

And to top it all off, he’s my best friend’s older brother.

I’ve spent what feels like an eternity keeping my crush on him a secret, but recently, I’ve found a way to have him and my anonymity too. A way to chat and flirt and get close to him.

My best friend doesn’t know about these Midnight chats.

And he doesn’t know I’m the girl he’s talking to night after night.

Beau Banks might be completely off-limits, but what happens at Midnight stays between us…
