This Tuesday is when The Spine Breakers meet!
Which means...
This post is for the monthly Battle of the Book!
*The crowd cheers*
I’m going to start off this review by saying that this is the BEST Elin Hilderbrand book that I’ve ever read. And I’m totally a fan of her. When I met her at Bookcon in 2015, I totally had a fangirl moment.
Jess did a really great job at explaining how The Perfect
Couple opened. You can read that here.
Just to rehash- Greer Garrison Winsbury is hosting her son,
Benji’s marriage to Celeste. The morning of the wedding, Celeste, finds her
best friend and maid of honor, Merritt dead! (Yes, you heard me correctly-
dead!!).
Will Celeste still marry Benji? What happened to Merritt?
But, the story isn't all about solving this murder. No no. There is more covered!
Celeste's mother was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer and her prognosis isn't good. The story looks at Linda's relationship with Bruce and how Celeste sees them as being the "perfect couple". The story also looks at the relationship between Greer and Tag - do they fit the notion of being a "perfect couple"?
Heck, are even Celeste and Benji the perfect couple??

Hilderbrand tells the story of what happened and how
everything came to be in past tense and present tense. She does so in such a
way that it’s not confusing (which is *awesome*).
She also unravels all of these relationships to show what is beneath the surface and how everything isn't always as it seems.
I'm with Jess on this one - 5 coffee beans out of 5!!
This is seriously an awesome beach (and you betcha I've been telling patrons who check out this book at the library the same thing!).
It's even a great rainy day read! Since that's what the weather will be like here for the next few days.
