The Perfect One


 
“The Perfect One” by Shelly M Patel
Independent Author
 
I thought this was a great story and an enjoyable read.  It’s a page turner with multiple points of view, allowing you to see different sides of what is happening along the way, adding to the suspicion of different characters.  You will change your mind multiple times as to who the guilty party is.  Unfortunately, there were a couple plot holes and points that went unanswered, so the ending was a little dissatisfying, causing my rating to be a little lower.  Even with that said, I do recommend it because I did enjoy it and think others will as well.  However, please read my addition note below because this book might not be for everyone.
 
Side note – I’m used to reading ARCs so errors don’t normally bother me, however, knowing this is the final, published version I must give a heads up that if you are one of those people in which errors bother you, you will probably not enjoy this book as much.  There are missing words, misspelled words, a character misnamed, and a subway/metro in VA Beach where one has never existed (I assume initially the book was to take place elsewhere).  The writing itself was fine, and I think this author has potential, but she needs a new editor.
 
Thank you to the author for the complimentary copy of this book.  As always, the opinions expressed within this honest review are completely my own.
 
Finished 10/11/25 – 3.5/5 stars
