Better Than Perfect - Softcover

They say the higher you climb, the harder you fall – how will Juliet cope when her perfect world starts to crumble around her?

Juliet seemingly has it all. Popular, pretty, with laidback, loving parents, a devoted boyfriend and an effortless straight A report card. But then the cracks start to show: her parents separate, which leads to her mother taking an overdose. With the stress of college applications looming on the night of her mother’s hospitalization, Juliet takes comfort in the arms of a stranger. Now Juliet’s relationship with Jason is on the rocks too – can she piece her perfect life back together before the shockwaves threaten to collapse it completely?
