“My (Not So) Perfect Life” by Sophie Kinsella

Cat Brenner is longing for the life she has always dreamed of. She left her country farm life and her real name, Katie, behind her and ventured to London to try and pursue a career in design at the branding firm of Cooper Clemmow. The position she lands isn’t exactly her dream job but Cat is willing to work her way up and attempts to get her designs in front of her boss, Demeter, whenever she gets the chance. Though Demeter may be the most scatter brained person she’s ever met, Cat thinks she has the most perfect life – stunning home, kids, handsome husband, ritzy parties with celebrities and the job of all jobs. When one day Cat’s dreams for her future come to a crashing halt she is forced to return to her family’s farm and revaluate who Cat/Katie is meant to be. All is well until her London life shows up in Somerset. “My (Not So) Perfect Life” is a great reminder that even though we may share a picture perfect existence on social media…all is not always what it seems. Finding acceptance in her day to day flaws and realizing that being real is better than pretending to be perfect is extremely freeing to Katie, a wonderful resolution for all. This is the second book I have read by Sophie Kinsella (“Surprise Me” being the first) and I have to say I loved this one even more. A heartwarming book to add to your TBR list.
