What happens when your mother marries The Perfect Guy's father. You become his step sister, live in the same house and even share a bathroom.For a while now, Rebecca has been dreaming of Pres, a senior at her school, but now that her mom has married Pres's dad he sees her as a kid sister. Even her best friend Celeste tries to discourage her from her obsession with Pres. But Rebecca is sure she can win Pres over, all she needs is time and now that they live together, they have plenty of time.Pres's father is in charge of the school play and he offers Rebecca the opportunity to write the school play's script. With lots of research into the town's past, Rebecca discovers an ally and a great friend in Josh, Celeste's brother. Josh helps her learn how to dance for her mom's wedding. Josh helps her search the town's past for her script and he is also there for her when she needs someone to talk to about her new family dynamic.All her careful plotting is unfolding and not in the way she planned, will Rebecca see what's right in front of her? Can she find the happy ending in the family she's always wanted? Can she find it in the not so perfect family she now has?The Perfect Guy was an endearing look into the life and teen struggles of Rebecca, her friends and even her new family. I found this story delightful, charming and enjoyable. I did feel this story would be a perfect fit for the tween audience, Rebecca's youthfulness and predilection seem to match that age groups mindset the best. Even the length is very conducive for a young reader, making it a quick, easy, fast paced read.This copy of The Perfect Guy was given to me by Ann Herrick in exchange for a honest review.
