I have to admit I went into this story figuring I could probably tell how it would end. I was definitely wrong with that sentiment.Pieces of Perfect is a story about Lily. Lily is young, and trying to figure out a lot of things, including what to make of the one night stand she has at the very beginning of the book. Lucky for her she gets more time to think about it when that one night stand, aka Max, comes back and ends up working with her. What ensues with those two is a complicated mess of what it means to feel some really real things and make some pretty hard choices.While trying to find her way through the "whatever she has with Max thing", Lily finds herself seeing Adam, a parent of one of her students. Adam is the antithesis of Max, and represents something completely different to Max. He's the good guy, and Lily is instantly enamored with him, but finds it hard to decipher between what she feels and what she just wants to feel.Like I said, I thought I would go into this book knowing what would happen. I thought I would have a surefire favorite between these two men, and that it would be obvious who was better for her. Boy was I wrong. The authors of this book did a phenomenal job of presenting Lily with two distinct choices in men, neither of which is the 100% go to choice. Throughout reading this book I constantly found myself wondering who I actually liked more, and who I thought Lily should like more. By the last page, I still wasn't sure. That is how well this book is written, that until the very last word you just don't know how its all going to end.I have to also say that I was very happy with the ending, unlike some other people might have been. I found that the ending was the realistic choice for what should happen. Any other ending would have felt forced, and would not have fit where Lily was in the story and her character life. Lily goes on a real journey throughout this book, and the choices she is presented with and makes are difficult, complicated, and messy which makes the book that much more authentic because that's what life is. Lily's character and her honesty (and lack thereof) is what made me love this book so much.Lily, Max, and Adam make this story one that you will truly want to devour as soon as possible. I truly enjoyed reading about Lily, Max, and Adam. This book is well plotted, has some very juicy characters and scenes, and presents realistic and authentic emotions of what would transpire if ever put in this situation. While I was satisfied with the ending of this book, I eagerly await to find out what happens next with all 3 of these characters. I am still not sure who I would put the main character Lily with, but I think I have a certain one I am leaning to, and I am eager to see what all transpires
