NEW RELEASE
Perfect Girl - Michele Gorman (2014)
Carol is the daughter and sister everyone would love to have. She has a high demand job in the securities industry as an analyst and her days are long and stressful. In her spare time she organises her family's lives which leaves her no time for herself. After offering to help her friend find a significant other, she simply does not have enough hours in the day left. Carol is falling apart but she wants to please everyone and cannot say no. Michele Gorman has done it again, she is a fantastic storyteller and brings her stories to life for me. I felt for Carol, trying so hard to be the dependable one and not wanting to let anyone down, but she did not realize she was letting herself down most of all. This explores a great family dynamic and when everything comes to a head, what will Carol do? It's a great read - Michele Gorman does not disappoint! (KARM)
Perfect Girl, by Michele Gorman, is about having it all but not being sure that's what you want. The summary says: "Carol can just about keep her nose above water, but her life is sinking fast under the weight of obligations - her family treats her like their personal assistant and her boyfriend's so busy with work that he's got her single-handedly running their relationship. Not that Carol's job is any easier. As the only woman on the bank's trading floor she spends her twelve-hour days trying not to get sworn at or felt up. But a woman can only take so much. Just when she thinks her colleagues can't sink any lower, they break their own record. When Carol spectacularly snaps, revenge is sweet, but it means dismantling her entire persona. If she does that, what's left?"
