reviews

Perfect

“This first novel by Natasha Friend has been well named, Perfect. . . . Friend’s subtle use of language, her delicate touch, brought me to tears and out-loud laughter. . . . An excellent novel.”
-Midwest Book Review

“The believable and likable heroine relates many heart-warming moments. . . . Ultimately Isabelle's story will both touch and educate readers.”
-Publisher’s Weekly

“Natasha Friend's first novel is every thing a first novel should be . . . realistic, never cheesy even in its solution, funny, and just about perfect.”
-New Pages.com

“Clearly and simply written with a nice balance of humor and drama, with insight into the mind of 13-year-olds and how families suffer from trauma, this story can speak to girls coping with their own transitions into adolescence.”
-Kirkus Reviews

“[A] witty and perceptive family drama.”
-Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
