Perfect-ish by Jessica Seaborn
4.0
"It's foreign to me ... Being close with people. I never really experienced it, expect with you dad ... Sometimes I worry I've passed it onto you. It keepts me up at night."
Pure is at the ripe old age of twenty nine and comes to the realisation everyone around her is living their version of their best life and she is not.
Prue is still recovering from a failed engagement, has abandoned her university degree and finds herself working at a call centre for lonely people. Oh and did I mention living with her highly successful older brother.
Rock bottom isn’t the life Prue wants to live so she build the courage to get her life back on track by thirty. Pure comes to the realisation that finding the perfect life and her version of perfect are two vastly different worlds. It’s ok to not have your shit together and it’s even more ok to start again to find what truly makes you happy.
What a fabulous debut novel. I love each of the different relationships in Prue’s life and the different challenges each one overcomes. The notion of finding your version of happy and knowing it might not be as text book as someone else’s, yet doesn’t mean you’re not on the right path really resonates with me. I also loved the use of social media captions at the beginning of each month.
