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.

 

As yearbook photographer, Harper is responsible for those candid moments that make high school memorable. But her own life is anything but picture perfect. Her parents' bitter divorce left her wondering what a loving relationship looks like. And ever since the senior class voted her and star quarterback Brody 'Perfect Couple That Never Was', her friends have been pushing her to ask Brody out.

 

Brody doesn't lack female admirers, but Harper can't see herself with him. He's confused about the match too. Yet they find themselves drawn together; first by curiosity about why the class paired them, then by an undeniable bond.

 

The trouble is, though they're attracted to each other, they have a hard time getting along or even communicating well. 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 they feel so changed from making the effort, they can't forget each other. What if this match made in hell is the perfect couple after all?

REVIEW:

So we're already in the second installment of The Superlatives series by Jenn Echols! And as you know, I loved the first one: Biggest Flirts so I was very excited to start Perfect Couple. And as always, Jennifer delivered an awesome story.

It was as fun as you would expect from a story that promises an unlikely, different, "opposite" couple that then realize maybe they aren't as unlikely as it would seem. I liked Brody and Harper, they are both good kids and to me they made sense ince the beggining. I was team Harpy all the way.

I also really liked that Harper grew so much through the story. She starts off as the naive, slightly depressing friend that kinda blends into the background. But she pleasently surprised me by growing a backbone and becoming this sexbomb that exuded confidence. Although she might have taken things too far with the cheating and all that. But still, she was more likable at the end that she was at first.

And her chemistry with Brody was off the charts. I really think I can see why they were named Perfect Couple ;) every scene they were together sparks really flew.

Another awesome thing was that I got to see the characters from the previous novel (and the next one) and it just makes me moe invested in their stories. I just love to check on them and how their lives are going.

So really, if you liked the first you cannot miss the second one. Perfect for fans of fun, light stories with a touch of sexy.


And just because I am generous I will share some of my fave quotes with you:

While playing co-ed flag football on the beach:

"I don't know," I spoke up. "If you manage to get somebody's bathing suit off, I think you should gain a yard, because that would be pretty difficult and you should get a prize."
"Harper," Brody said with laughter, "you're my kind of girl. You're on my team, by the way."

One that involves Tia, who was the MC in Biggest Flirts and who I love:

The image was tiny, but I ran my eyes over hs shinning muscles and his smeared race number, and looked forward to viewing the enlarged versión on my computer.
"Watcha looking at?" Tia asked, peering over my shoulder. "Got a Pullitzer prize winner? You seem very intent even for you." [...]
I handed the camera over to her and watched her look at the camera view herself. "I feel like a pervert." I said.
"You should. That is disguting. Be sure to email me a copy."
