Book Review: Not Perfect

Book Summary:

Tabitha Brewer wakes up one morning to find her husband gone. She has no way to support herself and their two children in the upscale Philadelphia lifestyle to which they are accustomed.

She can’t tell her friends what has happened because her husband left her a mysterious warning: “I’ll tell them what you did.”

Tabitha tries to keep up appearances as the months pass but she can barely feed her children.

She resorts to stealing things like toilet paper because she’s gone through all the money and no more is being deposited into their account by her husband.

But secrets often have a way of getting out. A kind stranger has taken an interest in Tabitha. And she fears that he’s going to figure out that her life is far from perfect.

My Review:

I truly enjoyed reading this book. It was both sad and funny.

It is a good women’s fiction read about the circumstances women sometimes find themselves in through no fault of their own.
