Mirror, mirror ... who's the fairest of
them all?
I still cringe when I hear that line. A fairy tale that
had girls pretending they were the fairest, the most beautiful, and the most
entitled. A fairy tale most couldn't grow out of turned my haunted childhood
memories into a living nightmare. Girls who grew up believing that pile of garbage
became the meanest of all 'mean girls.'
And those mean girls were right - it was
a line meant for all the beautiful people in the world - and I knew the answer
would never be me.
The women with long legs, flat stomachs,
and perfect chests.
The type of women Kane Masters gravitated
toward.
Well, that's definitely not Willow Tate.
No. That will never be me.
Because I'm completely imperfect.
And ... I hate myself.
I have no idea what Kane could possibly
see in someone like me when he could have them.
My Review:
Perfectly Imperfect
is one of those books that everyone should read. In our day and age where image
is everything, a lot of people end up with body issues and low self esteem.
This book speaks to the person who has these issues and tells them that it is okay.
It's a beautiful story that pulls at the reader's heartstrings. I'm happy i got
the chance to read this one because it is one that will stick with me forever.
Willow has been beat down all of her life. The only love she
was experienced is with her mom and her two best friends. It's sad because she
has a sister and step father but hey treat her like she shouldn't exist. Stuck
in a life she never planned on, Willow is truly unhappy. Willow takes a journey
in this book. Willow finds herself and realizes the person she truly is. With
the help of her friends and her new love, she takes the steps to her new life.
What makes Willow's story stand out is it is something that most of us can
relate to. We can understand what it's like to have low self-esteem. We
understand what it like to not love yourself. What it's like to have people
feed your self hate. Willow's story says to us, "Hold on, your happy ever
after is coming."
This book is a HUGE message to the world. But I think some
time should be devoted to Kane. I need to find my own Kane. This man is every
woman's dream and probably everyone's new book boyfriend. Kane a movie star and
built like a greek god. I would say picture Chris Hemsworth. Kane has a heart
of gold and is fiercely protective of those he loves. Kane is quite possibly
the most perfect book character.
The story is supported by Willow's BFF's Kirby and Eddie.
They are there for Willow and want to ensure her happiness. When it comes to
Willow and Kane, Eddie says it best, “It’s so beautiful to watch him bring you
to life.” It is beautiful and I happy to have read this story.
Harper Sloan shows that she is a versatile author. She can
write über sexy stories and she can write ones that make you want to cry, laugh
and scream from the rooftops that you have to read this book. Sloan proves with
each book why she is a best selling author, her books rock.
My overall thoughts are that this book needs to be added to your "Must Read Immediately" lists. You will not be disappointed because the book is really that good.
My Rating:
5 out of 5 Stars!!!
Excerpt
“Are you nervous right now?”
I nod.
“Tell me why.” His demand, steady and calm, gives me the
courage I need to tell him. To open a
vein and bleed my insecurities.
“I’m not perfect,” I whisper.
“And neither am I, Willow. I don’t want perfect. What so many see as perfect, to me, is
fake. Perfect isn’t achievable
naturally. No one, and I mean no one, is
perfect.”
I’m shaking my head before he’s even done
speaking, but one long finger comes up and presses against my lips before I can
speak.
“No, let me finish. There isn’t beauty in perfection. It’s as fake as the image the word
projects. Beauty is found in
imperfection, Willow, because to admit you’re not perfect means you’re
admitting you’re not whole and absolute.
When I think of myself, I see someone willing to admit he’s as far from
complete as it gets because, in order to get to that perfection, I need to find
the other part of me who will make my
life better. To take all the faults I have
and fill them, and only then will I be there.
You see, the way I see it, the only way to become perfect is to find
that perfectly imperfect person who brings it out of you.”
When he stops, I swear I might have
stopped breathing. How am I supposed to
respond to that?
“Do you trust me?” he asks, his voice
strong and sure.
“Yes, Kane. Nerves or not, I do.”
“Then let me show you what I see when I
look at you.”
He brings his hands up, framing my face
once again in a way I’m quickly becoming addicted to the feeling of. His warm eyes implore, begging me without
words to let him continue. I do not
intend to stop him, regardless of the butterflies currently taking over my
system. I’m all in.
About the Author:
Harper lives
in small town Georgia just a short drive from her hometown of Peachtree City.
She (and her 3 daughters) enjoy ruling the house they dubbed 'Estrogen Ocean',
much to her husband’s chagrin. Harper has a borderline unhealthy obsession with
books; you can almost ALWAYS find her with her eReader attached. She enjoys bad
reality TV and cheesy romantic flicks. Her favorite kind of hero--the super
alpha kind!
Harper
started using writing as a way to unwind when the house went to sleep at night;
and with a house full of crazy it was the perfect way to just relax. It didn't
take long before a head full of very demanding alphas would stop at nothing to
have their story told.
