Having just finished listening to Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality, it was quite an act of kismet that my random generator selected Perfect Little World as my next read. I was in the right mind to read about a psychological experiment focusing on communal living in regards to child rearing.
Interesting plot, loads of foreshadowing but there were some surprises. I really enjoy how Wilson writes. I will definitely add his other works to my TBR shelf soon.

A fascinating premise and a book I really enjoyed - the protagonist(s) were interesting, complex characters and I really loved following their journeys in this strange world.
There were a lot of additional secondary characters that never really clicked, though, particularly in the family - it was hard to remember who was who, and to give anyone besides Izzy and Preston any notable personality trait. The narrative was a bit lopsided too, heavy on Izzy’s life before the complex and then rushing through certain key moments in the IFP. For those reasons, even though I recommend the read, I rate it 3.5 stars.
