BETTER THAN PERFECT

From critically acclaimed author Melissa Kantor comes a poignant coming of age story perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen.

Juliet Newman has it all. A picture-perfect family; a handsome, loving boyfriend; and a foolproof life plan: ace her SATs, get accepted into Harvard early decision, and live happily ever after.

But when her dad moves out and her mom loses it, Juliet begins questioning the rules she has always lived by. Suddenly it is difficult for her to remember why she cared so much about rocking Latin exams or snagging elite internships... or if her family was ever as happy as she thought they were. And then there is Declan, the gorgeous boy who makes her feel alive and spontaneous-and who is totally off-limits.

Torn between the life she always thought she wanted and one she never knew was possible, Juliet begins to wonder: What if perfect is not all it is cracked up to be?
