THE WORST PERFECT MOMENT is a sapphic coming of age book... set in the afterlife. after tegan masters died, she was disappointed and surprised to find out that her version of heaven is a recreation of one of the worst weekends of her life. zelda, the angel assigned to tegan's case, however, is insistent that she couldn't have gotten it wrong. but when tegan escalates her complaints to zelda's higher ups, the two have to set off on a mission through tegan's memories to see which one of them is right. this is such a fun, emotional, but also heartbreaking story about death, self-worth and figuring out who you are and i absolutely loved it. zelda and tegan were both such compelling characters and i absolutely loved their dynamic and their banter. thanks to netgalley and holiday house for the advanced copy. THE WORST PERFECT MOMENT comes out may 14th!
