Book Review- A Perfect Mess by Zoe DawsonAubree Walker gets a call in the middle of the night letting her know her Aunt fell down the stairs and is unconscious.  Aubree has no choice but to go home.  She hasn’t been back since she left.  She ran from that one night staying busy hoping all the memories will go away.When she gets there the first person she comes face to face with is Booker Outlaw, her high school crush she left behind nine months ago.

She tries to fight any feelings she has.Booker has always liked Aubree.  The girl just gets to him.  He comes to her rescue multiple times and refuses to really look at why.  When the past seems to be coming back and threatening Aubree, Booker is more determined to keep her safe.When Aubree finally decides to give in to her feelings for Booker, he is hesitant knowing she is a forever girl and he doesn’t have anything to really offer her.  Yet he is drawn to her giving into his feelings.  When the harassment gets worse, he becomes more involved with Aubree.Finally everything blows up and the truth comes out.  Aubree fears she has lost everyone she loves, but herself.  She now knows what she wants and decides it’s finally time to go after it.This storyline was one to pull you in.  The reader knows from the very beginning that there is a huge secret that involves Aubree.  It has stopped her from going home.  Then they are along for the ride as she has to go back, facing her past and Booker as well.Someone is trying to scare her into revealing the secret.  She is being stalked.  So the reader is trying to guess the secret and who is trying to scare Aubree.  Plus it was interesting to see how long it took for Aubree to see some sense and quit being afraid.  Of course the biggest secret is a bit shocking and hits you out of no where.  I didn’t see it coming.  I give Aubree and Booker’s story a 4 out of 5 and impatiently wait for the next one.
