"This lively, amusing, feel-good read spends a week with three members of a family and delves into the secrets they each hold. "
What a lovely and rewarding story this is, taking place over a week it highlights three different viewpoints from a family hiding secrets. Teacher Emily doesn’t tell her father or grandmother that her fiancé has left her, however Ed and Liz also fail to confess some important facts. If you’ve read her other novels, Nicola Gill’s witty, warm, and wise voice is again vibrantly clear. We can highly recommend her debut The Neighbours and LoveReading Star Book Swimming for Beginners. While the tone and feel is similar, each time she settles her premise to sit as a fully independent read. The age range between the characters here, creates an interesting perspective. I love how each member of the family joins as an authentic individual, every time the viewpoint changed I learned a little more, and got to know their foibles as well as their strengths. Difficult times are explored, ensuring a believable and stimulating premise. Gentle, yet pointedly thought-provoking, That’s Just Perfect explores the ups and downs of family life.
