Nicole Dunlap delivers another epic novel that comes with a power bang. "Miss Perfect" is part of The Shaw Family series, and picks up where "Miss Scandalous" left readers reeling over a family's problems and intense conflict.The author does a great job of keeping you engaged and focused on the realities of life, drama and comedy. She mixes in imperfection to show how easily it can corrupt the human condition. "Miss Perfect" is complete poetry in motion. The drama redefines love, family and loyalty then turns everything good about it into a tragic downer. But that flips.The drama is very important, and not something a real person could endure. The divas are cunning and razor sharp. But, Charlene Shaw is a true diva because she can easily dismiss the drama by keeping her heart and mind open as long as others play by her rules.I just couldn't help chuckling as comedy pokes at the family problems. The whole theatrics of Raven and Charlene Shaw's idiotic, enlightenment fails to engage the drama of their immediate circumstances. They just go on about their merry way keeping secrets and telling lies. You see this throughout the book, especially when Charlene Shaw grits her teeth at the sound of her own skeletons rattling in the closet.The takeaway for me is, sometimes it can be a bad thing to be too close to family. Everyone gets involved in your problems, giving their opinion, gossiping and stirring up drama. The upside, when bad things happen you'll have their support."Miss Perfect" is a really good read that I highly recommend, if you want to be placed in the midst of family drama!
