Present Perfect (Perfect #1)
"I’ve been unsure about many things in my life except for one thing, that I have always loved him. Every single minute of every single day that I have been on this earth, my heart has belonged to him. It has never been a question, never a doubt. The love had taken on many different forms over the years, but it had always been a constant.
Everyone has their definition of love. There have been countless songs sung about it. A gazillion books, articles, and poems written about it. There are experts on love who will tell you how to get it, keep it, and get over it.
We’re led to believe love is complicated. It’s not the love that’s complicated. It’s all the crap that we attach to it and put in front of it that makes it difficult. If you’re smart, you’ll realize this before it’s too late and simplify."
-----------------------------------------------------
Amanda Kelly spent her entire life trying to control every aspect of it, while striving for perfection. Her obsession with being perfect, along with her feelings of worthlessness, consumed her. The one thing she thought was perfect in her life was the bond she shared with her best friend, Noah.
Everything was going according to her life plan until she woke up one day and realized she had fallen in love with him. The one thing she couldn’t control was the affect he had on her. Noah had the power to give her one hundred lifetimes of happiness, which also gave him the power to completely devastate her. He was the one thing in her life that was perfect, but she couldn't allow herself to have him.
Her life begins to unravel. Events take over and force her to let go of her dreams and desires. She needs to realize that a person cannot control the events in their life, only their reaction to them...but will it be too late for her to save her relationship with her best friend? Present Perfect is a story of how past events have present consequences and how perfect your present could be if you stopped fighting and just allowed it to happen.

Buddy read with Skank Soraya Naomi and Dhini!!!Don't get me wrong, this was a very well written piece of work! The first 20% was riveting! But after that I just got frustrated, I'm sorry to say this but I had no sympathy for Amanda. She was stupid self absorbed and juvenile!I hate stupid heroines and this one was just that... stupid!By the way, how many men does this girl need to feel like a real person???? Adequate??? My patience was tried!!! Get over yourself Amanda!Yes it was beautifully
I cant remember that last time that I read a book that has provoked such conflicting emotion for me! Parts of this book I absolutely adored! Other parts had me fuming and frustrated, and ready to hurl my kindle. And, for me, it wasnt that awesome angst that I love, it was stupid and pointless angst, angry angst, and I had a lot of trouble with it.Told from the POV of the heroine, Amanda, she tells the story of her relationship with her best friend, and her knight in plastic armor, Noah.

2 StarsIs it too much that all those stars are dedicated to Dalton Connor?Because the only things that makes sense in this story is him.I love Dalton, and I feel so sorry for him.Mostly this book tells about Amanda being so stupid and acts like a wh*re. Buddy read with Soraya Naomi and Christine The Dark Romance Junkie ❤❤
Present Perfect was third book this week that made me cry. Changing into blubbering mess on the floor is tiring, however fantastic feeling. I definitely wont be reading so emotional books for a while, because I need a break from those stories. I really thought I couldnt handle finishing Present Perfect, but when I decided that it shattered my heart, something opposite happened, which made me sob even harder. Present Perfect is story about Amanda and Noah, and their extraordinary bound. From the

**2.5 stars**Present Perfect was a frustrating journey from the very start to the end of the book. Amanda spent her time doubting Noah's feelings and pushing him away. Even though Noah was very upfront and let her know exactly how he felt about her. He loves me, He loves me not, He loves me,..." When I got to 30% I decided to put the book down and read two other books hoping that when I came back I would be more tolerant of Amanda's over the top behavior. Unfortunately, my feelings didn't5+++ stars!!!
