In this second book in The Superlatives trilogy from Endless Summer author Jennifer Echols, Harper and Brody think they’re an unlikely match—but the senior class says they belong together.
As yearbook photographer, Harper is responsible for those candid moments that make high school memorable. But her own life is anything but picture perfect. Her parents’ bitter divorce left her wondering what a loving relationship looks like. And ever since the senior class voted her and star quarterback Brody “Perfect Couple That Never Was,” her friends have been pushing her to ask Brody out.
Brody doesn’t lack female admirers, but Harper can't see herself with him. He’s confused about the match too. Yet they find themselves drawn together—first by curiosity about why the class paired them, then by an undeniable bond.
The trouble is, though they’re attracted to each other, they have a hard time getting along or even communicating well. If they’re the perfect couple, this shouldn’t be so difficult! Soon it becomes clear their class was wrong, and they throw in the towel. But they feel so changed from making the effort, they can’t forget each other. What if this match made in hell is the perfect couple after all?
3.5 stars: Perfect Couple is a good relate-able story set in high school. Brody is so different from Harper. He is out-going and loud but when it comes to Harper, he is so sweet. I didn’t like Harper’s character because while she had a boyfriend, she would flirt with Brody and at one point, cheat. That doesn’t sit well with me, even if her boyfriend was a complete a**hole to her.
The idea of getting this complete opposite couple together through the superlatives for the yearbook was a well-thought plan. I hadn’t read a book where this happened and Jennifer Echols really put much thought into it to deliver a great story.
Even though I liked Harper and Brody, the story I am most looking forward to is Sawyer’s story with Kaye. I fell in love with Sawyer instantly and I know his story will be filled with craziness and fun and laughter. If you are looking for a light and fast read, this series is for you. If you haven’t read a book by Jennifer Echols, what the hell are you waiting for?!
