Almost Perfect

De: Tagan Shepard

Narrado por: Lula Larkin

Olivia Duran has made being a TV fangirl her life. Creating fan art sure beats her job as a parking lot attendant, and immersing herself in fictional worlds where girl gets girl helps her cope with her less-than-happy reality. If anyone deserves a little escapism, it’s Olivia.

Queer entertainment influencer Riley St. James has a huge following and an even bigger secret that could tank her career. Somewhere along the way her love for TV turned into a job that pays the bills. She’s never told anyone she sometimes has to fake it.

When Riley and Olivia attend QueerCon, Olivia gifts her favorite actress one of her drawings and goes from unknown to overnight sensation, while devoted fans flock to Riley, who only has eyes for Olivia. Navigating the world of long-distance dating, career crisis, and family obligations, Olivia and Riley begin to wonder: Can their real-life love ever be as perfect as those they see on-screen?

Good

Pretty good, if a bit angsty. I liked the characters and storyline. Narrator was ok, some voices sounded the same though.

Loved ‘the voice’ of this book

I saw Tagan on a GCLS panel in Albany. I was impressed with her answers and her wit so I bought this audiobook. I was not disappointed- the story is clever and charming but the voice with which it is told is outstanding. I really enjoyed this book!

Good story

Liv and Riley meet at a queer con and have an instant attraction. Liv is committed to her family, taking care of her little sister and ailing grandfather, still living at home. Riley is a social media journalist hoping to breakthrough into show writing and magazines. The story of their relationship is sexy and interesting as they navigate family commitments, career disappointments and triumphs and the usual relationship issues.

Almost Perfect

This was super cute...I love geeky, fan-girl romances🥰

Riley and Olivia are quite the pair! When they first meet and start to get to know each other, the connection and chemistry are just WOW! But I think their third act breakup is where the story (writing) is brilliant. The author made me want their split - like I believed they're not suited for each other. Both of them needed to do some soul searching. Then, when they get back together... I actually was rooting for them again! Talk about roller-coaster!
