Toot! Toot!

I haven't read any reviews of Present Perfect in a while. I look at the number of reviews grow on Amazon, B&N and Goodreads, and I'm so appreciative that folks are still taking time to write them. I was glancing at some today and this one caught my eye. Why? Because anytime my name is mentioned in the same sentence as other amazing authors I get giddy and humbled. So, here's a little shameless self-promo, tooting my own horn, patting myself on the back. Gawd, I'm obnoxious. I'm already tired of myself. I'll probably delete this post...right after y'all read this fantastic review. LOL!

Twice per year Amazon should allow us to rate a book MORE than 5 stars. Sometimes 5 stars just aren't enough and we should get two opportunities each year to rate those mind-blowing books beyond the grid. THIS would be mine.
Reading Present Perfect is something that everyone should do - no joke. If you loved Colleen Hoover's "Hopeless" or JA Redmerski's "The Edge of Never", then delay no longer...you need this book. To put it simply, this was the most emotional book I've read so far this year, quite possibly even ever. I cry at movies, not usually books. I can feel a book deep within my soul, connect to the characters like they're my friends, hurt when they hurt...but usually not cry. This was not the case with Present Perfect. There were not one BUT two occasions in which several tears slipped down my cheeks.
This story takes turns and twists you'll never see coming. Connecting to Noah and "Tweets" character was easy & natural. I'm not sure that I ever wanted love to work more than I did theirs. I silently begged through the entire book that my heart would get what my heart wants.
There are few book boyfriends that you'll love the way you'll love Noah. Perfect is a good way to describe him. From 1% to 99% on my Kindle, he continued to swoon, swoon, swoon me! God almighty, if we could bottle this boy and make some more just like him, ladies we would be bazillionaires. Amanda; aka: "Tweet" will need to grow on you. I will be honest and say I wanted to give her a good ole' open hand `hello' in the face more than once...but I stayed with her - followed her journey and understood a lot of her naivety.
The loyalty that Noah and Amanda have towards each other & the depth of their feelings for one another is pretty much indescribable. When you read it, you WILL feel it - I promise you. This one will stay with me for quite some time and I don't mind at all. Absolutely more than 5 stars!
