His backstory made my heart hurt and he’s really one of the sweetest Jock’s you’ll ever meet. Brougham was a really fun character as well. She’s by no means unlikable, I just think she was a little naive. I had a hard time warming up to Darcy in the beginning, but she soon won me over. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and sometimes that’s needed. Enter a boy who blackmails her into helping him get his ex-girlfriend back, and shenanigans ensue. Perfect on Paper follows Darcy, a highschool junior who runs an “agony aunt” service out of a locker at her school. The first two chapters made me a little nervous, but after that, I couldn’t put the book down. I will admit I was a bit hesitant to get into this book, because of how much I loved Only Mostly Devastated (Gonzales’ first book). Okay, so all she has to do is help an entitled, bratty, (annoyingly hot) guy win over a girl who’s already fallen for him once? What could go wrong? If word gets out that she’s behind the locker, some things she’s not proud of will come to light, and there’s a good chance Brooke will never speak to her again. The goal? To help him win his ex-girlfriend back.ĭarcy has a good reason to keep her identity secret. In exchange for keeping her secret, Darcy begrudgingly agrees to become his personal dating coach―at a generous hourly rate, at least. However, when Brougham catches her in the act of collecting letters from locker 89―out of which she’s been running her questionably legal, anonymous relationship advice service―that’s exactly what happens. Has maybe not the best judgement when it comes to her best friend, Brooke…who is in love with someone else.Really cannot stand Alexander Brougham.Can give you the solution to any of your relationship woes―for a fee.

Let’s hop in!Ĭontent Warnings: Bi-phobia, internalised bi-phobia Perfect on Paper publishes today, so for once I’m caught up on an ARC. I’ve been sitting on this review since I finished the book in January. Hi friends! I am super excited about finally posting my Perfect on Paper Book Review.
