Hello, everyone and welcome to another blog tour!
I haven't done one of these in a while, and to be honest, I miss doing them.
But what a book to start on!
I read the first book that began The Superlatives series, and it was bloody fantastic! So I knew this one was going to be just as good.
Before I read this book, I was in a reading slump, and this book helped me to get out of it. So that just goes to show you how much of an amazing book this is.
Also, Jennifer Echols is a lovely person and a fantastic author.
Please help me to support her by purchasing this book and enjoying it!
So today I have my non-spoiler review on the book. I have also taken pictures of some excerpts from the book that I really like, and hopefully it spurs you on to get the book.
Near the end there is also a giveaway for your chance to grab some goodies!! How can you resist?
Let's begin!!
Review
Title: Perfect Couple
Author: Jennifer Echols
Series: The Superlatives (#2)
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Rating: 5/5 Kitkats
In this second book in The Superlatives trilogy from Endless Summer author Jennifer Echols, Harper and Brody think they're an unlikely match, but the senior class says they belong together.
Can your heart be put to a popular vote?
As yearbook photographer, Harper is responsible for capturing those candid moments that make high school memorable. But her own life is anything but picture perfect. Her parents' bitter divorce has left her wondering what a loving relationship would look like. And ever since the senior class voted her and star quarterback Brody the “Perfect Couple That Never Was,” her friends have been on her case to ask Brody out.
Brody doesn’t lack in female admirers, but Harper can't see herself with him. He seems confused about why they were matched together, too. They’re total opposites—the last people in the world who would ever be compatible, let alone the “perfect couple.” Yet ever since the class paired the two of them, they've found themselves drawn together--first by curiosity, then by an undeniable bond.
The trouble is, though they're very attracted to each other and both of them admit this, they have a hard time getting along or even communicating clearly. If they’re the perfect couple, this shouldn’t be so difficult! Soon it becomes clear their class was wrong, and they throw in the towel. But after they walk away, both of them feel so changed from making the effort that they can’t forget each other. What if that means this match made in hell is the perfect couple after all?

Jennifer Echols had done it again!
I just adore her writing style. She never ceases to amaze me.
I loved the first book so was excited to read this one.
After being in a reading slump, this book helped to get me out of it. Contemporaries tend to fill the gap for me.
Perfect Couple is just simply PERFECT (ha!). It's everything that you could ever want in a contemporary.
I really liked the main characters in this. They are both likeable and just go together so well.
What I was happy with was that the characters from the first book came back, and as I loved them, it was great to have them in the book again.
It is light a fluffy and full of so many addictive situations.
It is a companion novel, so you don't have to read the first book. But I totally recommend that you do as it is awesome.
Although this book is quite short in size, everything is wrapped up well, so it leaves you wanting more. In my opinion, I end up feeling very satisfied at the end.
I just simply cannot dislike any of Jennifer's books. I am loving everything about her and her books. She is vastly becoming another favourite author of mine.
I could so easily re-read any of these books.
Use this book as a pick-me-up. Even if you are single, you will feel happy for these characters and will hope one day you will meet a significant other like they have. This book proves that it can be possible, and it leaves you feeling happy.
Overall, I loved this book and can't wait to continue on with the series. It deserves getting five out of five Kitkats. I need to read all of Jennifer's books now!!
