What happens when the person who’s supposed to love you most becomes the one who leaves the deepest wounds? Those scars don’t just stay in childhood—they follow us, shaping the partners we choose, the patterns we repeat, and the stories we tell ourselves about love.
That’s the raw heart of Taylor Higgins’ brand-new novel, Best Kept Stranger, out this week. It’s fiction, but it reads like truth—pulling from the toxic parent–child relationships so many of us quietly carry, and exposing how they echo in our adult lives.
Taylor isn’t new to telling the hard stories. Her first book, Between the Stitching, was a brutally honest memoir that turned heads. And now, with Best Kept Stranger, she proves once again that the stories we run from are the very ones that set us free when we finally face them.
