Review: Her Perfect Life

Her Perfect Life by Hank Phillippi Ryan
My rating: 2 of 5 stars


336 pages, and the best part of this book was the last 10%. So often I wanted to give up, but I pushed on. Yes, the ending was worth it; it wasn't something I came close to expecting. But to spend this much on a book that is only exciting for so little of it...well, that just isn't right.

The characters are all supposed to be adults, except Cassie, whose story is told in the past -yes, this book is told by three of the characters. I can understand some of Cassie's mistakes during her segments of this book; she was a young teenager. But as far as Greer went, she just seemed to be a backbiting *itch. And Lily...well, what can I say about her? She had her snobbish moments. Did Li.y or Greer never once think (or rather I should say the author) that they had an actual money-making job to do? Nope, we never seemed to have that piffle work its way into the story.

It still will most likely be a good book for those who follow this author. This was my first novel by her, and I am not sure if I'll try another. I don't particularly appreciate feeling dragged through a story by my hair.
