Faking Perfect by Rebecca Phillips
Pub. Date - June 30, 2015
3 stars



Lexie has a troubled home life that she tries to hide by befriending the popular kids and pretending to be perfect.  Unable to maintain the facade all the time, she has started a casual, secret relationship with the school's bad boy.  As situations with her family comes to a head and she starts to doubt her relationships with her friends, she wonders if it is really worth it to fake perfect.  I liked this book and enjoyed that it focused more on her relationships with family and friends then on a romance.  I liked Lexie and appreciated that the issues that she was dealing with were realistic however, it was strangely dull at times and not all the characters are very well developed.  So overall, this was a quick read for me on a night that I didn't otherwise feel like reading so it was good enough to hold my interest but definitely had some problems.  I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
