Ultra-high-achiever Viviana Rabinovich-Lowe has always had a plan—and no room to be anything less than perfect. But her quest for perfection comes to a screeching halt when her boyfriend leaks racy pictures of her to the entire school. Making matters worse, her parents are getting divorced and now her perfect family is falling apart. For the first time, Viv feels like a complete and utter failure.

Then she gets a job working at the community pool, where she meets a new group of friends who know nothing about her past. That includes Evan, a gorgeous guy who makes her want to do something she never thought she’d do again: trust. For the first time in her life, Viv realizes she can finally be whoever she wants. But who is that? While she tries to figure it out, she learns something they never covered in her AP courses: that it’s okay to be less than perfect, because it’s our imperfections that make us who we are.

I was going to read this because I was auto approved on Netgalley and it showed up on my shelf, but I'm 10% in and not feeling it. I wasn't a fan of How to be Brave and I'm not sure this one is for me either. Maybe I'll just put it aside and try it later.

Part 1.


(view spoiler)[Her parents are awful. They are the type of people that force their kids to only study and never enjoy life. Yes, she made a mistake but making her a prisoner isn't going to fix anything. (hide spoiler)]

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

Part 2.


(view spoiler)[I'm guessing that her dad has been cheating for awhile now. I guess it's good they are getting divorced. Her friend Sammie is a fickle person. It's amazing they have been friends for so long. They are complete opposites. (hide spoiler)]

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

Part 3.


(view spoiler)[I can't believe that her dad is still trying to pretend that everything is okay and acting like he wants to fix the marriage. I'm glad that she has finally confronted him about it. I'm also glad that her and Sammie are friends again. They both really need each other. (hide spoiler)]

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

I'm finished.


(view spoiler)[Her father is a complete jerk. He didn't even feel bad about what he did. I'm glad that Viviana and Evan ended up together. It was so obvious that they both were really into each other. (hide spoiler)]
