Inhaltsangabe
"Not only is this queer rom-com audiobook PERFECT ON PAPER - it's also perfect on audio.... The wonderful writing coupled with [Barrie] Kreinik's execution makes this a spectacular audiobook." (AudioFile magazine, Earphones Award winner)
In Sophie Gonzales' Perfect on Paper, Leah on the Offbeat meets To All the Boys I've Loved Before: a bisexual girl who gives anonymous love advice to her classmates is hired by the hot guy to help him get his ex back
Her advice, spot on. Her love life, way off.
Darcy Phillips:
- Can give you the solution to any of your relationship woes - for a fee.
- Uses her power for good. Most of the time.
- Really cannot stand Alexander Brougham.
- Has maybe not the best judgement when it comes to her best friend, Brooke…who is in love with someone else.
- Does not appreciate being blackmailed.
However, when Brougham catches her in the act of collecting letters from locker 89 - out of which she’s been running her questionably legal, anonymous relationship advice service - that’s exactly what happens. In exchange for keeping her secret, Darcy begrudgingly agrees to become his personal dating coach - at a generous hourly rate, at least. The goal? To help him win his ex-girlfriend back.
Darcy has a good reason to keep her identity secret. If word gets out that she’s behind the locker, some things she's not proud of will come to light, and there’s a good chance Brooke will never speak to her again.
Okay, so all she has to do is help an entitled, bratty, (annoyingly hot) guy win over a girl who’s already fallen for him once? What could go wrong?

"Perfectly wonderful.” (Becky Albertalli, New York Times best-selling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda)
Kritikerstimmen
"Didn’t know it was possible to pack a book with this much charm, humor, sincerity, and wisdom, but then again, it’s Sophie Gonzales. Perfect on Paper is perfectly wonderful." (Becky Albertalli, New York Times best-selling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda)
“I devoured this book in one lovely day! Yet again Sophie has created an ensemble of empathetic characters led by a clever, relatable, sincere protagonist you’ll root for all the way through. Perfect on Paper is full of the kind of sharp wit, keen insight, and hilarious rom-com shenanigans that make it a heartfelt reminder that love may come in infinite and unexpected ways, but is still the one thing we all have in common.” (Emma Lord, author of Tweet Cute)
“Perfect on Paper is a perfectly-complicated love story in every way. Gonzales has gifted us with a well-intentioned and thoughtfully-complex protagonist in Darcy, whose advice is wonderfully applied not only to the questioning students she anonymously helps, but to readers as well! Full of swoons and angst and packaged carefully with heart, Perfect on Paper was a brilliant study on the complications of first loves.” (Erin Hahn, author of You’d Be Mine and More than Maybe)

Simply loved it
Gonzales' writing is just great. I've previously read "never ever getting back together" and now "perfect on paper". Both are great books I'd recommend to anyone who is looking for great bi-representation in novels. It's casual, yet intricate.

Casual representation at its best!
I came out of "some girls do" and dove right into this.
The first few chapters were a little hard because there were a lot of characters with a lot of names that were not easy to differentiate, but after I got the grip I fell more and more for this book.
I cared for the love story, I cared for the characters, I danced a little through my room when they FINALL kissed and. Yes. Yes yes.
There are two things I especially liked about this book.
The first thing is the casual representation in both ethnicities and sexualities/gender identities. The way in which the book talks about it feels very natural, very "normal". I liked that.
The second thing is a little "if you know, you know", the main character is a queer activist and the lingo that's used, the conversations they have represents the queer spaces that I've been so, SO well.
Liked it a lot.

A great (summer) read!
I really enjoyed this book. It was easy to get into and listen to. The perfect summer audiobook.
The story is centred around a bisexual main character who’s navigating teenage life, romance and friendship. It has great representation and touches on a lot of important serious subjects that affect (not just) teenagers.
