Publisher's Summary

On the cusp of turning thirty, Prue feels like everyone else is living their best life. Her friends are boasting about everything from their wellness achievements and exciting travel plans to their romantic relationships and newborn babies. Prue on the other hand is struggling to recover from a failed marriage engagement and an abandoned university degree, and her job at Love on the Line counselling lonely people only seems to highlight how truly alone she really feels herself.

As Prue finds the courage to make real changes in her life, setting three (rather ambitious) goals to achieve before her milestone birthday, she soon comes to realise that perhaps she has been focusing on the wrong things all along. There's a difference between seeming to have a perfect life and finding your own perfect-ish life, and being far from picture perfect is perfectly okay.

Great read!

Interesting and relatable story read beautifully and skilfully! As a 30-year-old who hasn't quite found their career niche, I enjoyed Prue's revelations and the observations of other characters about this!

Relatable and funny Aussie read

I really enjoyed Perfect-ish. Prue and the other characters were so relatable and definitely not perfect. There were funny bits and heartfelt bits. It really captured the performance of social media - I loved the posts scattered throughout the book. This story felt affirming and captured how we are all just muddling through life, and doing the best we can, and that things are rarely as perfect as they seem from the outside.

LOVED IT!

I see myself and so many people in my life in these characters. So damn relatable. Such a funny, well-written book. I get so excited driving to and from work knowing I get to listen to this book.
