Far From Perfect by Holly Smale
3.0
The Valentine family - Mercy, Max, Faith, and Hope - are full of young teen celebrities as their Grandmother is the matriarch of an acting dynasty. Faith's mother is also an actress and Faith's father is a director even as they are going through a difficult divorce. Max is disappearing and re-appearing at odd times, likely sneaking off with girls; Mercy has to be watched to be sure she doesn't beat anyone up especially the paparazzi; Hope needs someone to support her in her latest venture. And who is there to support everyone and keep the family happy? Faith, of course.⠀
⠀
Faith has now turned 16 and can begin acting as is the right in the family dynasty so she is trying out for her first roles. She is in a perfect relationship with teenage singing heartthrob Noah. Her award-winning grandmother has been helping her prepare for the newest role. She posts and maintains the perfect Valentine daughter image. ⠀
⠀
But...who is Faith? What is it that she wants? Who supports Faith when she is having a hard time? ⠀
⠀
This is a good YA story for young teens to realize that no one is perfect including and especially famous people. Relationships are hard for everyone-- family, friends and romantic. The most important relationship that needs to be developed is the one you have with yourself. ⠀
⠀
The pacing of the novel and settings will appeal to young teens. It is not a completely clichéd story as well so there is enough happening to keep a young reader hooked. I would recommend for readers from 10-13. It might read a little young for 15 and over. ⠀
