This is my book review of “The Perfect Girlfriend” by Karen Hamilton.

Synopsis:

Juliette loves Nate.

She will follow him anywhere. She’s even become a flight attendant for his airline so she can keep a closer eye on him.

They are meant to be.

The fact that Nate broke up with her six months ago means nothing. Because Juliette has a plan to win him back.

If she and Nate are meant to be, they can weather any storm—even this break-up they’re going through now. Nate thought things had been moving too fast, getting too intense. All he needed was some space, though. Now that six months have passed since that awful night, it’s time for Juliette to put her plan into action.

It takes some convincing: cleaning his apartment while he’s out, leaving behind his favorite foods…little things to make him realize how badly he misses her. Once he sees that Juliette has a perfect new life and has broken free from her dark past, he won’t ignore her anymore. Especially now that she’s working for his airline.

She’s not going to let him go so easily. Because their love is like a dream that never dies.
Even when it turns out to be a nightmare.

She is the perfect girlfriend. And she’ll make sure no one stops her from getting exactly what she wants.

True love hurts, but Juliette knows it’s worth all the pain.

My Review:

This was a nail-biter for me. Juliette is obsessed, and nothing will stop her from getting Nate back.

The thing is, she is accruing payback to everyone who has hurt or deceived her, going back to childhood. That’s a long time to hate someone.

Since Juliette seems to have no empathy or guilt, she would probably be considered someone with antisocial personality disorder. She looks straight ahead at her goal and is ruthless in getting there.

All in all, I loved the book. Her tenacity alone was quite something to take in. I’d like to read more by this author.

About The Author:

Karen caught the travel bug after an early childhood spent abroad (Angola, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Belgium, and Italy) and has worked as cabin crew for a major airline.

In 2006, she and her husband put down roots in Hampshire. Four years ago, she gave up flying to raise their three sons and concentrate on her writing.

Now that they are a little older, she has begun traveling again (as and when it’s possible) and enjoys exploring places through their fresh eyes.
