How Perfect is That Audiobook

" It's funny, I read the whole book not really liking the character, but that was obviously so intentional and well-done that I kept reading, just to see how she turned out. And damn, Sarah Bird can write funny sentences, one after another. "

" Cute story by local Austin author. "

" I usually love this author. This time, I didn't. "

" I've always liked this author. "Alamo House" was very funny and "The Boyfriend School" ranks as one of my all time favorite books ever. Others by her were so-so, though I listened to "The Flamenco Academy" and enjoyed it. "How perfect is that" was so good I didn't want it to end. "

" so far I like it more for the Austin references than anything else... "

" such pretentious writing. painful to read. "

" This book was completely moronic and completely captivating. A quick, breezy, unbelievable story that kept me amused and reading. A nice change of pace from the Holocaust themed books I had been reading "

" This took a while to get into - she introduces a lot of characters all at the beginning so it took me some time to get them straightened out. I really liked how one mishap led to another and then another. By halfway through the book, I was into it. "

" I enjoyed this book. It was funny and insightful. I also loved reading about Austin, Texas since I used to live there. It's a light quick read. I recommend it (unless you are an over pampered diva--you might recognzie yourself and it's not a pretty picture). "

" Fun diversion for sure. I am not sure how much I would have liked it if it wasn't set in Austin, though. That added a lot for me. To it's credit, the plot was somewhat unique, though predictably tied nicely together at the end... "

" I love Sarah Bird, and look forward to her books. How Perfect is That is an entertaining read. My favorite Bird book is The Flamenco Academy. "

" It's set in Austin, Texas, and contains many references that might be puzzling to people from elsewhere . . . but maybe not! "

" I really want 1/2 star ratings, 'cause I'd put this right in the middle. It was fine. I don't quite get why there was a list of discussion questions at the end because I don't see this as a book club book. This is escapism, people, not great literature. "

" Uninspiring dud. Not worth going into more detail. "

" great fluff, which is about all i my brain can handle right now! "

" the main character remains a shallow, dishonest, witch throughout the entire book. irritating. "

" Another occasion where I wish that half-stars were available. This is closer to 2-1/2 than 3 stars, but I'm in a generous mood this morning. "

" Funny, funny and SO Austin! "

" Blythe is utterly unlikable, but I love her. Reminiscent of Becky Sharp (Vanity Fair). "

" This was a good light book to read when you are crazy busy "

" I love Sarah Bird and her books. She has a voice like no other and her characters stay with you long after you have finished the book. Some may not like the main character of this book b/c thru a lot of it her actions are not very likeable but she grows on you. "

" Very slow at the beginning. Once it gets to the middle it picks up but it's still not an exceptional book. "

" Took forever to get into, but ended on a cute note. Had funny one-liners. "

" A little too silly at times, but it is fun to read a story that takes you all over Austin, TX. An easy read, good for taking a break from some of the heavier stuff I read this summer. "

" terrible :) i can see how it's funny in parts, and it's nice in the end but the entire plot is based on the worst kind of deception and manipulation. it made me wince the whole way through. "

" Not necessarily one of Sarah Bird's best efforts, but delightful nonetheless. It feels a bit dated, however, as if it should have been released a couple of years earlier than it was. "

" Humerous book on the rise and fall of socialites. "

" Took forever to get into, but ended on a cute note. Had funny one-liners. "

" Starts with a bang - most fun, then lags a bit. Found myself skimming and I hate when I do that to a writer. Book took place in Austin, where I live, so much fun to glimpse into the world Sarah writes about. "

" A quick airplane read. The characters and the plot are both colorful but lacking in depth. Engaging as a short, fast read, but had the book been longer I may have lost interest. "

" I love Sarah Bird and her books. She has a voice like no other and her characters stay with you long after you have finished the book. Some may not like the main character of this book b/c thru a lot of it her actions are not very likeable but she grows on you. "

" Great summer read. Sarah Bird is so funny! "

" great fluff, which is about all i my brain can handle right now! "

" How I long for the young Sara Bird, for Alamo House and The Boyfriend School. Alas, I am left with regurgitated characters, leftover plots and none of the laughs I once enjoyed. Growing up is so unfair. "

" This was my fun "beach" book last summer. And it was just that...fun and perfect for the beach. Don't expect much more. "
