Past Perfect was a book I was highly anticipating. I LOVED Leila Sales first novel, Mostly Good Girls some crazy amount, enough to even compete with a passage from it during forensics season. While I don’t think Past Perfect quite lived up to Sales’s debut, Past Perfect was still a book that I absolutely loved.

I love the way Leila Sales writes. Her books are down right some of the funniest books I’ve ever read, they are just so charming. Her stories are also just addicting, I found myself having a hard time putting down Past Perfect once I started.

Chelsea was a really fun character, I thought she was a lot of fun. Fiona was just great – I loved how spunky she was. Bryan was always the comic relief with his crazy facts he knew about all sorts of things that you really would not think would be that useful.

The plot was great. There was a bit of a stretch near the middle where I was not quite as on board with what was going on, but it was still quite fun. I loved the whole idea of the reenactment parks, such a unique idea with so much that could go on!

I absolutely adore the cover, it is so cute! Leila Sales is an author you simply have to check out. She is totally the next big thing! Past Perfect is a marvelous read that you will not regret reading.
