My rating:
Blurb:Ten years ago, my high school crush found me during senior finals week in the student parking lot with my car decorated with items you find behind a drugstore counter and a "Most Likely to..." banner that would make a pro blush.
And by "pro," I don't mean golf.
In under an hour, everything I knew about myself was turned upside down and inside out, just as our high school career was in its final hours.
Then again, he's the high school quarterback. He's used to performing when the clock's running out.
Me? I perform well under pressure, too.
But not when Will Lotham is about to kiss me.
Or is he?
Little Miss Perfect is a prequel to the events that take place in Fluffy, New York Times bestselling author Julia Kent's new book. It can be read on its own, without having read Fluffy.
4 stars — I was needing something light and easy, like a palate cleanser for a book hangover, and this fit the bill. I haven’t read the rest of the series yet, and I can imagine that if I never did, this story would be unsatisfying…but it sets up that story fairly well in that we get a glimpse of what Mallory and Will’s relationship (or lack thereof) was like.
Mallory was deliciously awkward. I kind of thought from the blurb there was going to be more angst/bullying, but there wasn’t.
I appreciated seeing these glimpses of Will — his facade vs his real self. It intrigued me.
And it was interesting to see the differences in their lives.
All in all great as a prequel, probably not as fun if you really never read more.
Now that is an attention-grabbing start. I can see wanting to keep going with the story after.
