Imperfectly Perfect (A Series of Imperfections, #1)
by A.E. Woodward
4 Star Read for this one. This is a very good depiction on how perfection is in the eye of the beholder. I really enjoyed this and will definitely be looking for more from A.E. Woodward.
"What is perfection? Does it even exist? Is it attainable?" "Life isn't about what is perfect for everybody else; it's about what is perfect for you" ~Prologue Quotes
Those simple statements from the prologue gave me chills. This story is told mostly from Emma's POV. Emma is not a "normal" girl. She doesn't have girl friends. She hasn't since she was 9 years old, but she's always had Shane and Tyler. As time goes on you find that over the years they've stuck together. Going to the same schools, living together (along with Rob whom they meet at NYU), celebrating together, and being there for one another. Emma's Mom has always pushed for Emma to be something she's not; to be the girl who looks for a husband, settles down and has babies. Emma's focus has always been on her career and her 3 soul mates / best friends. It's not a conventional situation for most 30 something adults to all continue to co-habitat after graduation and starting your adult career life. In this story it works. Seemingly happy with her life Emma goes back home to Maine and finds her younger married sister is now pregnant. Shockingly this brings feelings Emma never knew she had about where her life is going. From there you follow Emma's journey to find perfection in her life. Where does that leave her 3 best friends if Emma is looking to move on with relationships and motherhood? Do you need to move on to find perfection or has it been right in front of you all along? Really good read worth picking up
