Finding Perfect by Colleen Hoover
5.0

Finding Perfect is the 4th and final installment of Colleen’s Hopeless series, which also includes Hopeless, Losing Hope, and Finding Cinderella (Review here). However, Colleen made a recommendation at the beginning of Finding Perfect that says, “Note to reader: This short story focuses on characters in both Finding Cinderella and All Your Perfects. This will make more sense once you’ve read both of the novels that this short story ties together.” So while All Your Perfects is technically a standalone and not part of the Hopeless series, readers will get SO much more satisfaction from Finding Perfect after both other novels have been read. Do yourself a favor and make sure you read these three together, almost as if they were a series of their own.

Since Finding Perfect is a sequel to Finding Cinderella, a lot remains the same. At the end of FC, Six revealed a huge, heartbreaking secret to Daniel. FP is the continuation of that story line as Daniel and Six face the situation head on and try to find a solution. We also have the same main cast with Daniel and Six as our leads, Holder and Sky as the faithful best friends, and other family and friends. We do meet Daniel’s older sister, Hannah, and I absolutely adored what her character brought to the story. She provides a calm strength as she does her best to help her brother find the answers he needs.

The one complaint I had from Finding Cinderella was that Daniel’s dialogue sounded more like that of a 30-something than of a teenager. I didn’t find that issue in Finding Perfect, so either he was a little bit better written or I was just so wrapped up in the story that I didn’t notice. Either way, no complaints in that area!

This little novella packs a lot of punch. I was holding my breath from the beginning to the end, rooting for Daniel and Six, but so incredibly nervous for them. I would also recommend having a box of tissues and a lame “who’s cutting onions??” excuse ready for this one. Perfect ending to an amazing story!
