This was in my TBR for such a long time and I regret not reading it sooner. It was a perfect YA romance.
Alina’s character development and her dealing with never dancing ballet again are written so well. I also love her complex relationship with her friends and sister.
I also love Alina and Jude together. I think when it comes to YA romance (or romance genre in general tbh), the author tends to write the male lead with no personality. Sometimes I also don’t understand why they fell for each other. But with Jude and Alina, you can understand it. I love all their moments of talking about their pains and understanding how similar they are.
Honestly I have a lot of praises for The Other Side of Perfect, but I just don’t have the English skill to explain it well. I’ll definitely be checking out Mariko Turk’s other works.
