Better Than Perfect

February 17, 2015

Juliet Newman has it all. A picture-perfect family; a handsome, loving boyfriend; and a foolproof life plan: ace her SATs, get accepted into Harvard early decision, and live happily ever after.

But when her dad moves out and her mom loses it, Juliet begins questioning the rules she’s always lived by. And to make everything even more complicated there’s Declan, the gorgeous boy who makes her feel alive and spontaneous—and who’s totally off-limits. Torn between the life she always thought she wanted and one she never knew was possible, Juliet begins to wonder: What if perfect isn't all it’s cracked up to be?

Melissa Kantor once again delivers a tale that is equal parts surprising, humorous, heartbreaking, and romantic. Powerful and honest, Juliet’s story brilliantly portrays the highs and lows of life in high school and will resonate with any reader who has experienced either.

Goodreads

I wish I could have this book right now. It seems like the main character is a in my shoes except for the tad bit about Harvard etc. I remember being the kid who thought she would apply to Harvard just for the heck of it, I mean why not. Until reality hit and I realized that I needed to take the SATs and then spend money and time writing the entrance essays or what not since I would be a foreign student. Let's just say my perfect, Mari goes to Harvard, becomes a doctor and lives happily ever after didn't work out but that's life I guess and if that blurb made me write this blab paragraph then I think it's fair to say I want to read this book :)

What are You Waiting For?
