MelanieTheresa (997 KP) rated The Perfect Girlfriend in Books

Mar 27, 2019 (Updated Mar 28, 2019)

"If you love someone, set them free.
If they come back, they're yours. If they don't, make them."

I cannot even tell you how many times I said to myself, "This chick is INSANE," while reading this story.
And she is. Juliette Price is smart (with enviable investigative skills), attractive, and completely delusional. She is certainly not a likable character - actually, none of the characters are very likable - but she is fascinating in an American Psycho kind of way. The story is made all the more creepy by Juliette's narrative, because the delusional never think they're delusional, now do they? No, everyone else must be the problem. This 100% applies in this case.

I appreciate the fact that there's no "big twist" in this one, but rather a series of smaller twists that help to further the narrative. Honestly, Juliette herself is so twisted, that's all you really need.

Also, can I take a minute here to say that Nate is SUCH a douche, and even a bonkers chick like Juliette deserves someone better to stalk?

I'm giving this one 9.5 stars rounded down because the ending frustrated the hell out of me. How about an epilogue? Gah.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin-Graydon House Books for the opportunity to preview this title early in exchange for an honest review.

Light and enjoyable

As chick lit books go, this is fairly good. Yes it’s a little cheesy and it’s beyond predictable, but it’s well written and easy to connect with all 3 of the main characters in some way across the course of the book. They all have flaws, lots of them in some cases, and there are times when some of their actions become very frustrating. That said, it was a light hearted and sweet book that was quick and enjoyable to read. Not one I’d rush to recommend unless you're into these sorts of books - for me it was just a quick read before moving onto something more serious.

Pip pip Hooray!

As chick lit goes you could do worse than this. Basically it’s the trials and tribulations of a modern love story involving a clown called Pip and an accountant named Zac. Totally predictable but also somehow comforting like a cwtch under a warm blanket on a cold day.

In some parts you want to shake the pair of them. I cried at some parts (I know!!! Anyone who reads my reviews knows that this isn’t unknown!!!) but I did enjoy the book very much. If you wants a well written, heartwarming piece of fluff, this is the one.

Double tap is not as nearly as funny and fresh as the original, the added new characters didn't really add anything to it, the blonde bimbo air head cheerleader started off okay but by half way through her act you where praying she was bitten by a zombie , rosario dawson plays her usual kick ass chick takes no shit kinda girl all in all its watchable will never be a classic or a cult status movie, but it's oassable
