a buoyant rom-com beach read
Jessie Tu, Sydney Morning Herald
Fans of Emily Henry and Genevieve Novak will enjoy this fast-paced and funny Australian debut about ignoring society’s expectations and finding your own kind of perfect.
Lucie Dess, Readings
. . . it’s a smart, funny, compelling read that is perfect for a lazy Saturday afternoon on the back deck with a glass of rose, or perhaps (weather permitting), to take to the beach . . . It is compulsively readable, extremely interesting, and at times, laugh out loud funny. Come for the promise of a great read, stay for the moments of originality.

Debut author Jessica Seaborn shares a few things that helped her get her debut novel, Perfect-ish, published.
OUT NOW: https://www.penguin.com.au/books/perfect-ish-9781761340031 A smart, funny and heartfelt anti-romcom by a bright new voice in Australian fiction. Prue is about to turn thirty and feels like everyone else is living their best life. Her friends are posting online about their amazing relationships, exciting travel plans and newborn babies. Prue, on the other hand, has been dumped by her fiancé, she's dropped out of uni, and her job counselling lonely people only makes her feel more alone. With the help of her best friend, Delia, Prue sets three goals to turn her life around before her milestone birthday: ditch the job, move out of her brother’s house, and find love. But when Delia’s perfect marriage begins to crack, and a secret threatens to shatter their friendship, Prue realises there’s a difference between seeming to have a perfect life and finding your own perfect-ish life. And maybe being far from picture perfect is perfectly okay.
