Summary

 Read by Chika Ikogwe, known from Netflix's Heartbreak High.

Turning Thirty and Feeling Stuck
Prue is about to turn thirty and feels like everyone else is living their best life. Her friends are posting online about their amazing relationships, exciting travel plans, and newborn babies. Prue, on the other hand, has been dumped by her fianc�, she's dropped out of uni, and her job counselling lonely people only makes her feel more alone.

With the help of her best friend, Delia, Prue sets three goals to turn her life around before her milestone birthday: ditch the job, move out of her brother's house, and find love.

But when Delia's perfect marriage begins to crack, and a secret threatens to shatter their friendship, Prue realises there's a difference between seeming to have a perfect life and finding your own perfect-ish life. And maybe being far from picture perfect is perfectly okay.

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.

Relatable and funny Aussie 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!

Great read!
