You Asked for Perfect by Laura Silverman
5.0

I’ve had this book on my tbr for so long and I have no idea why it took me so long to finally read it. I originally got it on audible because my favorite narrator was the one reading it and the story sounded really interesting. I really loved this book! I think the message that no matter how put together everyone else seems compared to you, you don’t actually know what’s going on with them and what they’re going through so you can’t compare yourself to people. And I think that’s especially important for teenagers that are struggling to figure out who they are when everyone is telling them they have to make all the decisions, for the rest of their lives, right now. The pressure to be perfect can be suffocating and can make you forget about the little things that make life so beautiful. Not everything is about the end goal because once you get there, you don’t want to look back and regret all of the fun you missed with the people you love.
