My two cents: Skip the prequel entirely on your first read. It's well-written but feels like a retcon that softens the father's character too much. The original trilogy works better if his past remains somewhat shadowy and open to interpretation. The mystery is part of his allure and the central conflict. Adding the prequel demystifies him and, in my opinion, weakens the main character's journey of discovery. So, order is 1, 2, 3. Stop there for the purest experience.

The series order is the least of your worries. The real challenge is finding a copy of book three that isn't priced absurdly high because it's between print runs. I had to wait months for the ebook price to drop. Good luck!

I'm of the opinion that 'Before the Fall' should be read after book two, not after the trilogy. The cliffhanger at the end of 'Unspoken Promises' involves a huge revelation about the father's past. Reading the prequel right then satiates your immediate curiosity and makes the wait for book three more bearable. It also deepens the stakes for the final book's conflict. This mid-series placement feels like a natural narrative intermission rather than an appendix.

The correct order is whatever keeps the pages turning. If you start with the prequel and get bored, jump to the main book. If you start with the main book and crave backstory, pause and read the prequel. Reading shouldn't feel like following an IKEA manual. It's a personal journey. Let your curiosity guide you. The story is strong enough to withstand a little non-linear exploration.

The romance genre taxonomy for this is 'age-gap, forbidden love, best friend's dad'. If you're into those tropes, the order just lets you marinate in the tension longer. If those tropes bother you, no order will save it. Know what you're signing up for.

What is the full reading order of My Best Friend's Father novel series?

10 Answers2026-08-04 14:29:43
The full order goes: 1. My Best Friend's Father. 2. My Best Friend's Father: Secret Desires. 3. My Best Friend's Father: Hidden Truths. 4. My Best Friend's Father: Forever After. That's it for the main series. There's also a holiday novella called 'My Best Friend's Father: Mistletoe Moments', but it's not essential to the plot—it's just a fluffy standalone set after the events of 'Forever After'. The novella is cute if you really love the characters, but you won't be lost if you skip it.

My Kindle recommended book 3 to me first. Algorithms are dumb. Don't rely on them for series order. Do a quick web search for the author's name and 'series order' to find a reliable source, like their official site or a major fan site.

I read it based on the protagonist's emotional state. Seriously. I grouped chapters by the color she associated with her mood in her diary entries (it's a thing in the novel). It was a wild, impressionistic way to experience the story—jumping from despair to nostalgia to quiet hope. Not recommended for a first read, but it shows there's no single 'right' way.

Can we talk about how the covers subtly change to reflect the characters' ages? The first one has bright, cartoonish sunflowers, and by book seven, it's a more muted, elegant design with intertwined silver rings. Following the reading order lets you visually see the story growing up alongside the characters. It's a really nice touch that you'd miss if you read them out of sequence or just saw them on a shelf. The order isn't just about plot; it's an aesthetic and thematic journey too.

Is there a sequel novel to 'My Dad's Best Friend'? No. The main story of those two characters is completely contained within that one book. The 'full reading order' people talk about is for the expanded universe of other couples in the same friend group or family. So if you're only asking because you want more of the specific dad's-best-friend dynamic, you won't find it in the spin-offs. They follow the best friend's brother, the main character's coworker, etc. It's a common point of confusion—people think it's a series following the same couple, but it's more of a shared-world anthology.

The series order debate is half the fun of the fandom. Everyone has a strong opinion. My take? There's no wrong way, as long as you're enjoying yourself. Some orders might spoil surprises, but if you're the type of reader who peeks at the last page anyway, maybe you want that. Know thyself.

My final, emphatic advice: Read them in the order they were written. Full stop. The author wrote each book responding to reader reactions and her own evolving understanding of the characters. You can feel that organic growth when you read them sequentially. It's a time capsule of a specific kind of friendship story from the 2010s. To tamper with the order is to lose that historical and creative context. Just embrace the series as it is, warts and all, from book one to book four.

Honestly, just search the title on NovelUpdates. The community there usually has a pinned post or a forum thread with the proper order, links to translations, and notes about missing chapters. It's a lifesaver for stuff like this.

What similar romance novels should I read after My Father’s Best Friend?

I'm out of my depth here—I mostly read epic fantasy. But this thread is fascinating. The way you all analyze character dynamics and tropes is like listening to people dissect magic systems or political intrigue in my genre. It's cool how every genre has its own deep language of conventions and reader expectations. Maybe I'll dip a toe in with one of the historical recommendations; the forbidden love in a rigid society sounds like it has some parallels to fantasy court intrigue.
