Escaping Perfect by Emma Harrison
3.5
3.5 Stars
A little confused how I feel about this one. It's the story of a girl, the daughter of a big famous politician, who runs away from home. She goes to a small town her grandmother had been from and there learns what it's like to be somewhat normal.
I loved the small-town aspect, and I thought it felt super warm and home-y. I also really liked some of the friendships. My main issue was with the romance, as I felt it was pretty insta-love like, and just appeared out of nowhere. Plus, i found it really hard to root for the love interest, as I found him annoying, shallow, and emotionally abusive. So not a fan of that. The book also had some editing issues (the bird necklace, some format issues) that annoyed me a little, and the inspirational quotes just came off as aggressively annoying to me.
Overall, I did enjoy it. It was a very lighthearted book with a nice setting. PG+ for some swearing (I think) and some talk of sex
