Kate’s life is pretty miserable. Her best friend has dumped her. Her father quit his job to sell infomercial vitamins in the mall. Her family, as a result, is having some serious money troubles that can only be resolved by her grandmother coming to stay. Of course, Grandma being around just makes everything more tense and more stressful. Kate is also lusting after a boy who has done nothing but torment her since they met in ninth grade. Will also has a bit of a reputation around school for hooking up with every girl he sees. Kate likes Will, but she doesn’t want to, and when he starts to act like he might be interested, she certainly doesn’t want to be just another name on the long, long list of girls that Will has been with…does she?
I loved Elizabeth Scott’s other two books, bloom and Stealing Heaven, but Perfect You just might be my favorite! It’s a close call as to which is the best, but Perfect You is in no way disappointing, and in many ways awesome. Kate is an awesome main character, but I loved all of the characters, and the complicated relationships they had with each other. Perfect You is a fresh, funny, and honest story that is everything readers will expect from this talented writer, and more! Honestly, I can’t recommend highly enough this fantastic story about family, romance, friendship, love, life, and growing up.

I bought this when I was in Chapel Hill last weekend for two reasons: 1) to read it, duh, lol and 2) to enter Elizabeth’s contest for it.
I haven’t read Bloom yet, but I’ve been wanting to. And Perfect You looks great- so I’m looking forward to reading it. :) Awesome review!

This book is for someone who likes to read about realistic things. If u do this book is a good choice but to me this book is more for girls not for guys. They usually don’t like reading things like this. This is more of a reality thing rather than something tough.
