Not Quite Perfect is a story about two sisters, Emma and Rachel. Emma has a great life, she's engaged, has some good friends and at work things are going very well. Rachel has a kind husband and a wonderful best friend. She also has three children. She's staying at home to take care of them while her husband is working on his career. Both Emma and Rachel aren't happy with their current situation. Emma's fiancé makes a few very wrong decisions when planning their wedding. Meanwhile there's someone else who's making it quite clear that he's interested in her. Will Emma be able to resist him? Rachel is facing a similar problem. Her husband is never home and he's made an important decision without consulting her. Rachel misses her old, exciting and a lot more glamorous life. Will she be able to stay away from temptation when it's right in front of her?The title of this book, Not Quite Perfect, is so well chosen. Both Emma and Rachel aren't perfect, but they're great main characters. They're normal woman who have problems like everyone else. Sometimes people make bad decisions and that's exactly what Emma and Rachel do as well. Their men aren't the most attentive, but they are kind. What I liked best about this story is the emphasis on the importance of family. Rachel and Emma are both friends and sisters and they love their parents very much. The constant switch between Emma and Rachel's storyline made the story fast paced and interesting. What's happening to Emma and Rachel is realistic, it's something that could happen in everyday life. Not Quite Perfect isn't a standard romantic story and I loved it even more because of that!
