Meet Laura – unlucky in love, treading on the thin line of being made redundant and living on her sisters air mattress after her flatmates fell in love and moved in together leaving her somewhat behind and homeless at 29. After receiving an invitation from ‘Cupid’, a new take on a dating app that promises to find your perfect match and which may also save Laura’s editorial assistant job, it seems she has nothing to lose.
No Such Thing as Perfect is a perfect summer holiday, relaxing read. I enjoyed the hilarious relationship Laura had with her colleagues and friends, found the dynamic between Laura, Jaime and Whit realistic and refreshing and quite frankly, could have screamed “Nooo” at my kindle with some of the choices she makes later down the line. The concept of ‘Cupid’ Is an interesting take on the 21st Century dating apps, although a bit scary to think anybody would have enough access to our browsing history (who’ve you been stalking at 1am!?) to find our perfect match, I do wonder if It would be more successful than swiping right or left on Tinder. In my opinion I felt Jaime and Whit, Laura’s sister and brother in law, were underdeveloped characters who had much more to give – perhaps Emma intends to release book number 2 to explore their relationship further?
