Flawed Perfection tells the story of River and her complicated friendship with brothers Adam and Bobby. Everybody loves the wrong person (sort of) or is in denial about a few rather obvious truths.After reading the blurb I was expecting a pain-fest (I had tissues ready) and although the story is defo angst ridden and something of a tear jerker, it wasn't until the ending where I felt the real pain began. Cassandra Giovanni started the series with a bang and at certain points it seemed nobody could win. When there are two guys (brothers no less) and one girl involved somebody, or most likely everybody is going to get hurt. But in an evil kinda way I enjoyed watching them struggle to figure everything out (not sure what that says about me).Their parents are friends, they grew up together and the three of them are best friends. They all rely heavily on the other two. The story grows complicated because older brother Bobby is the family golden boy, whilst Adam is the black sheep. Bobby is extremely competitive with Adam and has been openly in love with River for years (something she tries to ignore). At times I thought Bobby was less in love with River and more determined to win her, by taking her from Adam. But then he'd say or do something and I'd think, no he really is obsessively in love with her. River has always loved Adam and is convinced he doesn't feel the same way.I couldn't believe both sets of parents at times (who does that) and I can't see things with Adam/Bobby's parents getting better any times soon. I felt sorry for how Adam was treated and wanted his parents to really see his accomplishments.I think on paper most gals would like the idea of two hot guys fighting over her, but the reality of the situation in Flawed Perfection is angst-filled and dramatic. I felt sorry for River because whenever she tried to fix the situation she ended up being the one who suffered. My final note is on THAT ending! I was almost expecting something bad to happen but not what actually did. I enjoyed the drama and twists but I'm hoping for a HEA sometime soon.4 dramatic Stars in my Sky!I received a copy in exchange for an honest review!
