A review by kellyhager
Escaping Perfect by Emma Harrison
This book should not have been compared to Gone Girl. But that bit of false advertising aside, this was exactly what I wanted. It's a sweet, fun novel that is made me smile on basically every page.
Cecilia (or Lia, as she christens herself) is absolutely fantastic and I wanted to give her about 37 high fives over the course of the novel. The way that she goes from being completely sheltered (imagine never being able to do anything by yourself, EVER) to being able to stay hidden in a tiny town and get a job and manage to completely thrive? Yay for Lia!
I will say, though, that it ends on a cliffhanger, so hopefully there's a sequel or something. (No, seriously---WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?)
