good story and characters
Faking Perfect - Rebecca Phillips

Lexi is with the popular kids at school and does whatever it takes to stay there.  But there is another Lexi the real Lexi who’s mom drinks a lot and acts like a teenager.She also doesn’t pay the bills. Lexi’s dad left when Lei was four. Lexi has been sneaking Tyler in her room at night and he knows to keep his mouth shut and never give anyone a reason to guess what they were up to. But deep inside Lexi has a crush on Ben who is a friend of hers. The only person she can completely be herself with is her neighbor and friend Nolan. The her dad contacts her after almost thirteen years and she has to decide what to do about that. Also Ben asks her out but it isn’t as  great as she thought it would be. Also she thinks about her bad boy Tyler when with Ben.

for the most part I really liked the story and plot it did keep me reading. I wanted everything to turn out good for Lexi. This story did have enough of everything it needed even the bad boy falling in love. I really enjoyed the characters , they really made the story what it was especially Lexi and all she went through. Only problem I had was it was slow at times. I recommend.

I received an ARC of this story for an honest review.

July Wrap-Up
Faking Perfect - Rebecca Phillips
The Cage - Megan Shepherd
The Raven Boys - Maggie Stiefvater
The One - Kiera Cass
Across the Universe - Beth Revis
The Heir - Kiera Cass
Looking for Alaska - John Green
Red Rising - Pierce Brown

These are the books I read in July! I read 7 novels and listened to one audiobook. 

It was not that bad, considering that I was at camp for eleven days and that I had no time to read. I also went on a trip to Berlin where I had not that many time to read, I just wanted to enjoy the little time I had with my friend whom I get to see only once a year!

 

I hope to get more reading done in August, I have so many books that I am really excited about!! And what a better way to start the month than a Read-a-thon? :) My TBR will be up soon!

 

Reading John Green in Berlin :D

 

 

What was you favourite read this month?

Perfect is overrated
Faking Perfect - Rebecca Phillips

Lexi Shaw has been seeing Tyler Flynn since the beginning of the school year.  Not the dating kind of seeing.  He comes in the window and they never sleep.  He is the only one who knows her secrets.  The only one she trusts with her crush on the perfect Ben.

 

Ben is her best friends brother.  He seems so genuinely perfect.  Lexi feels with her family, her past and her habits, she will never be good enough for him.

 

Tyler makes her feel good about herself.  He seems to be able to take or leave her.  Lately he has hinted he wants to take more of her.  What is a girl to do?  She has made a reputation for being a good girl this year.  She is trying to fit in with Ben and his friends.

 

High School is unpredictable, and things can change in an instant.  Tyler is the one who defends her even when she is not there.  Ben has issues that may rival her mothers.  Is this even a choice?

 

Such an amazing story from start to finish!  I was completely sucked in and could NOT put it down!  I found the story compelling and the characters very complex.  I was so anxious to see what would happen and was pleased to get to the finish.  It was a great book, each and every page.  I give this story a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Faking Perfect by Rebecca Philips
Faking Perfect - Rebecca Phillips

*This book was sent to me by NetGalley in exchange of a honest review*

 

This book reminded me a lot of the DUFF, the main character's story were actually quite the same. Lexi is interesting, I loved her character. Lexi struggles with her mom who acts like a child and does not really care about her daughter. Lexi does not know her father, she has no idea if he's alive or not. She has a pretty messed up life and she is trying to pretend that everything is ok. I was expecting more boy/friends/make-up drama but I am happy it was not the case.
This was an enjoyable YA contemporary read but it was also more than that. This book sends a strong message, which is that when you seek perfection it cannot end well.

If you loved the DUFF, you should definitely read this book !
