🖤 One of The Best Secrets So Far This Year!!🖤

Avery Maxwell's One Little Secret has torn me wide open. Ashton and Nova have been keeping secrets since they were very young, and those secrets have led to the demise of the family around them.

When Nova is forced into staying in Ashton's home for her own safety, he falls for her almost immediately. Nova is interested, but worried about what Ashton would think of her if he knew the truth of those secrets, while Ashton - OMG, Ashton! Nova is the first person Ashton has been able to touch besides his "Sunshine Sadie" without feeling as if he is going to immediately combust. 

"I sigh all my fears into her lips, and for a moment, I’m just a man kissing his girl. The weight of lives and secrets exists only on the periphery. I’m forced to stay in the moment . In the moment that smells like first rain kisses, of promises , and of Nova. My shiny little star that sparkles so brightly she eviscerates my darkness."??

Unfortunately Ashton has promised that he will pull away, and the only way he knows to do that is by living a double life. And sure as the world, Nova can see it. She didn't ask him for that, she simply asked him for his time.

When Nova saw Ashton pulling away because he was doubling down, trying to keep her by working doubly hard, she decided to tell him her secrets. The secrets nearly ripped him apart from the inside out, because the were secrets that someone had lied to her about so many years ago, Nova was never guilty of. The secrets were designed to destroy Nova, and keep her alone for evermore.  Instead it brought all of Nova's family even more closely around her. 

Except Ashton.

"I’m pretty sure whatever was left of my battered heart is swirling down the drain with the mud that covered her feet."

Ashton has no idea how to make peace with Nova any more without first making peace with himself. 

“Fight the panic, Ashton. Fight for your happiness.”

One of the best and hardest books I've fought my way through in the last ten years. Nova and Ashton deserve their happiness more than almost any book I've ever read.  When you run into that spot in this book that tell you to stop, that you can't do it, tell it to eff right off - that you deserve to know exactly what happened and so do they!!
