Faking Perfect

Product Information

First you steal my rum and now my cigs,’ Tyler said, indignant. ‘What’s next? You want my wallet? My heart? No wait…you already stole that.’ I'm a huge fan of Portia MacIntosh's books and once again she has written an absolute Gem of a Book!

Sometimes it was a feat to continue reading due to the pace slowing down. Also, there were multiple cliché moments that made me want to DNF it and read something less predictable. Nevertheless I continued reading. I'm still not sure what I think about Lexi's father returning to her life. Again, this is one of those things I would've wanted to have been given more attention by the author. As for her parents, they were portrayed extremely unrealistically which you would understand once you start reading it.Actually, Ella has nothing to lose, right? Faking being a married woman, with two kids, must be a walk in the park, right? Faking Perfect is the story of Lexi, a girl with a pretty crap home life who thinks that the answer to all her problems is to try and fit in with the popular crowd. Unfortunately for her shiny image, she also has a weakness for bad boys and when she seduces resident tattoo-sporting, weed-dealing miscreant, Tyler Flynn, at the beginning of her senior year and carries on a secret relationship with him, she makes him avoid her at school, keep her secret and never ever tease her about her crush on her friend and local golden boy, Ben.

Don't create duplicates of the same request. Despite the issues I had with the development of the relationship, I really enjoyed this book. The plot was really interesting, with Lexi discovering that it is okay to be herself and all the storyline about her father. But what really made it for me were the characters. The author has a way to make the reader really appreciate the characters and love them with all their flaws. Lexi was my favorite character in the whole book, something I wasn't really expecting to happen because of the first chapters.

To be honest, I also thought that there will be much more things going wrong during this short arrangement between the sisters and what with some people already knowing about Ella faking Emma – it was a bit dangerous, don’t you think? If I were to pretend to be my sister I think I wouldn’t be able to persevere for so long. Nevertheless, some things went really well and some things went hilariously wrong and there are some truly funny situations. When Lexi Shaw seduced Oakfield High’s resident bad boy Tyler Flynn at the beginning of senior year, he seemed perfectly okay with her rules: Faking Perfect is the first arc I've received personally, thanks to www.netgalley.com/ for approving my request to read it :) I read the book a few weeks ago, but I've finally got around to writing the long, overdue review.

Ella who when we first meet her has just managed to lose her home, job and car all on the same day, and sounds like she may be rather flaky, knows she has been handed a lifeline even if its unusual and seeing how she copes as she attempts to be the best version of her sister that she can be is so so amusing. Jughead's grandfather could also have something to do with the plot too, considering he was one of the previous Baxter Brothers ghostwriters. OG Forsythe Jones will be introduced in the mid-season finale. Coincidentally, that's when show-runner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has hinted that we'll learn more about what happened during the Spring Break flash forward in that episode. Don't delete your original post with the request. This info may help others looking for the same book. And so we have Ella swapping places with her sister as Emma has to let's say go away for a few weeks, but doesn't want her reputation ruined. Almost no one even knows she has a twin, and Ella barely knows her niece and has never met her 9 year old nephew, so even her kids won't be any the wiser. I really felt sad reading about all of Lexi's efforts to become perfect and to chase perfection with any cost.

Featured Reviews

I liked that the characters in this book are not all perfect little cookie cutter characters, the majority of them are deeply flawed and I really appreciated that. In particular, Ben, I love that he didn't just turn out to be your typical nice clean cut all American guy who the main character loses interest in only because he is too perfect, he was actually a deeply flawed character who turned out to, while looking perfect on the surface, actually be a huge asshole and I really appreciated that. The storyline in this was about Lexi, her search to find out more about her father, and her romantic relationships. We had a bit of a love-triangle going on in this book, with Lexi having a secret relationship with Tyler, and putting this on hold to start dating the boy she’d had a crush on for years – Ben. There wasn’t really any cheating in this book, except for maybe the emotional kind! Donald Trump, who admitted to boasting about grabbing women’s genitals in a recorded conversation, later suggested the tape was not real. In Prince Andrew’s BBC interview with Emily Maitlis, the prince cast doubt on the authenticity of a photo taken with Virginia Giuffre, a shot her attorney insists is genuine and unaltered. Did you read Faking Perfect? What did you think about it? If not, are you planning to read it? Feel free to share your thoughts in comments!

Next off, and most importantly, I really appreciate that this book does not "virginalise" the main character, which is something we see a lot of with Young Adult contemporary reads. The main character did still deal with issues of being concerned about how people would perceive her for not being "virginal" but I think that that is extremely true to real life. I liked very much Tyler, because he was an authentic guy. A guy that even though Lexi was using him was there for her when she needed him the most. He was the right guy for her. I really loved that dude!!!She have a no string attached relationship with Tyler and as said in the description she actually use Tyler for sex and she have also set rule for him to follow. I also hated that the author didn't talk much about Tyler in the book, I was actually waiting for him to appear and as of now when I actually have read the book, Tyler for me is still a mystery.
