Almost Perfect by Tagan Shepard

4.0

This book provided a sweet, nerdy, queer romance! I ADORED the representation in this book, not only the queer and fandom ones, but also the inclusion of MCs that were imperfect and still figuring their shit out.

Both MCs really resonated with me, as they were truly well written characters with REAL flaws and struggles. Olivia’s fear of failure and desire to be needed hit SO close to home for me, as did Riley’s desire to appear perfect and her desire to be more. These characters were so wonderfully crafted and their relationship was just a beautiful ride. The story was unexpectedly spicy (which is never a bad thing), and I adored that the MCs made each other better and that the relationship inspired such growth.

The story was an emotional roller coaster, but in the best possible way.

I was given an ARC by NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books. All opinions are my own.
