Have you ever felt like you weren’t good enough and you have to push yourself just to be good at something? Yup. Maybe we’ve all been there. Pushing Perfect is about Kara, who doesn’t want to be called perfect, yet doesn’t want to be imperfect. And that leads to one thing to another.
Kara is a good girl. She study so much to make her parents proud, though she’s a little bit hard to herself, which lead her to panic attacks and failing. And she resorted to a teeny bit illegal thing.
The story is fast paced. She met friends along the way. I don’t think Alex became part of the bad influence, but rather she took part in Kara’s journey of finding herself. The mystery is good. I kept thinking who was the Blocked Sender and a little bit confused and mistrusting there. Did not expect who it was tho. I thought it’s gonna be focused on drugs, but it was not really. It revolved around it tho. The solution for the mystery is kinda rushed. Like really? Everything stopped after that conversation? But then this is YA, and it’s understandable that there’s not gonna be a big scene or everything.
A good read overall.
