'Perfect is as perfect does' -Origin

I've been wanting to read this book for a long, long, long time now. I remember seeing it in my high school library and being tempted to read the overview. I remember the main points that I read, even after all this time. Now that I got the chance to buy it I made sure to not read the overview. The starting idea is great. I was pulled in and even got somewhat inspired by this book so many years ago. The story is very good and doesn't seem to fall. It attracted me and kept me reading. It has romance in it but doesn't side track to it. It's all well focused, in my opinion.The characters aren't 2 dimensional. The main character is very well build and it was easy to connect to her and see how she's still human regardless of everyone else telling her that she's perfect. Perfect is in the eyes of the beholder. I would totally recommend this book. It did not disappoint me.
