- This book can be read as a stand-alone. You don't have to read the first book for this one to make sense.
- We get to see more of Tara and Jared! But funnier, because it's from Ella's point of view.
- There are still a lot of complex family relationships going on. Things don't magically get better overnight.
- The swearing and the sexiness are turned up just a little in this book, but I still don't write detailed explicit sex scenes. That's just not my goal with these books!
- This story is about the expectations we put on ourselves and others, and the difference between what we think we're supposed to do with our lives, versus what we actually want to do with our lives.
"Perfection is stupid, and I don't need it. So what if I don't have a relationship with 'God' or my dad? Why does it matter that I'm not like my sweet, beautiful, incredible sister? And who cares if I don't have a plan for my life yet?
I have sarcasm and a killer sense of humor instead.
Not to brag, but I also have the world's hottest boyfriend, and I get paid to play with dogs all day. Maybe my life isn't perfect, but it's pretty freaking great.
Like I said, I don't need perfection.
But is there a difference between 'perfect' and 'perfect for me?' What if 'perfect for me' has been staring me in the face since the day I met him?"
