Date the wrong guy and ruin everything you’ve spent your whole life working for—check
Super-achiever Viviana Rabinovich-Lowe has never had room to be anything less than perfect. But her quest for perfection is derailed when her boyfriend leaks a private picture of her to the entire school—a picture only he was supposed to see. Making matters worse, her parents are getting divorced and now her perfect family is falling apart. For the first time, Vivi 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, Vivi 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.
Although I received a copy of this e-book from NetGalley, all opinions are my own.
Devoured this book in just two sittings. In this novel you meet Viviana. It starts out with her in the hospital, having just fell asleep on her bike. You figure out that she has panic attacks. The way that Kottaras describes them was just as I experience them. Instant connection with Viviana's character. The things she goes through in the one summer this book covers is just extensive and seeing her work through things with her family and in her life was really thought provoking. Though this may not describe every person with an anxiety disorder, it certainly rang real for me. I really enjoyed this book, nearly as much as the first Kottaras book I read.
