Not Perfect
Not Perfect | Elizabeth LaBan
7 posts | 8 read | 8 to read
From Elizabeth LaBan, the acclaimed author of The Restaurant Critic's Wife, comes a captivating and very funny novel about a wife and mother's fall from grace, and why keeping up appearances is not her biggest secret.Tabitha Brewer wakes up one morning to find her husband gone, leaving her no way to support herself and their two children, never mind their upscale Philadelphia lifestyle. She'd confess her situation to her friends--if it wasn't for those dreadful words of warning in his goodbye note: "I'll tell them what you did."Instead, she does her best to keep up appearances, even as months pass and she can barely put food on the table--much less replace a light bulb. While she looks for a job, she lives in fear that someone will see her stuffing toilet paper into her handbag or pinching basil from a neighbor's window box.Soon, blindsided by catastrophe, surprised by romance, and stunned by the kindness of a stranger, Tabitha realizes she can't keep her secrets forever. Sooner or later, someone is bound to figure out that her life is far from perfect.

It's Wednesday so I'n working out of the coffeeshop this morning. I started my day with my usual Wednesday avocado toast, coffee & a little reading before getting started on a work project. 🥑🍞📚☕️

Grise This avocado toast does look perfect to me 😊 7y

DNF. Made it to chapter 4 but had to quit. Author was taking way too long to share why the main character was in her current situation. Lots of teasers but just draggggggging it out. Usually I can push through and see if a book can redeem itself but not this time. #NoTimeForThat

My Amazon Prime pick for January. The book in my go-to genre, historical fiction, had less than stellar reviews so I went with “funny.” Finally, something to read during my lengthy insomniac episodes.

BeckyK I went for The Birdwoman‘s Palate! Enjoy! :) 7y
Texreader @Beckykearns Let me know what you think of it! 7y
