Practice Makes Perfect is a continuation of the When in Rome series by Sarah Adams. TBH I feel that Sarah Adams has really hit her stride with this book. Annie is a very likable character who is struggling to be her authentic self. This is due to expectations placed in her by her family and friends. Will is dealing with repercussions of living a young life watching his parents’ train-wreck of a marriage. Even with these internal conflicts, the two MC find love with each other. Sarah Adams does a fantastic job acknowledging that closed door doesn’t mean chaste, delicate flowers. 
Also, the small town characters are lovable in a Stars Hollow kind of way. Love Harriet and Mabel!
I do think this could have benefited from about 10-20 pages being taken out which is the only reason why it’s not 5 stars. 
That being said, I can’t wait for James’ and Maddie’s story! 💜🧑‍🌾👩‍🍳
