It's Got To Be Perfect Kindle Edition

All Annie Delaney really wants is her happy ever after. A big dress. A big day. A big commitment. She even has a scrap book filled to bursting with ideas for her dream day, her dream home and – of course – her dream man.


Only problem is, the current man on her arm isn’t so much of a dream as a nightmare and as for the man currently in her bed… that’s a whole other disaster in the making.

With her relationship, and her life, heading into a tailspin Annie realises she has to re-examine just what can make her happy, while trying (and failing) not to make things worse.

But it’s never going to be easy – especially when she sees her friend Fionn heading straight towards her own big day with her Mr Right. But then Annie misjudges the difficulties Fionn faces with Mr Right’s very own Little Miss, not to mention the ex waiting in the wings.

Turning to her sister, Darcy, for support Annie has her eyes opened to just what can make you happy – or indeed make you sad. And she ponders that age old question – is there ever such a thing as the perfect relationship?

4&1/2 stars. It sure helps to have best friends and to believe that things will always work out and get better. There is a lot of tears in this story. But also many times I literally LOL.

3.0 out of 5 stars Get past the wreck they all aee
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2022

Set in Derry and Dublin Ireland. Many local words and phrases. Lead is a basket case most of the book. Lots of sex mentioned. Not too much detail. Almost have up on it cause lead not lovable. This opens with her wedding dress shopping with her best friend and quickly moves to her waking up next to a gross one-night-stand with a Chewbacca type; late for work; not remembering anything, but her regular boyfriend and PR client calling and hearing the Chewbacca in the background. He ends up dumping her… but he was a big client of her company which puts her job at risk. A side story is her best friends issues over the fiance’s ex watching their child during his honeymoon. So, she starts dating chewbacca, mostly for the sex. And it just gets weirder and weirder from there. I think I only kept reading cause it was truly weird. She interferes with her best friend’s marriage. Ruins her career with her previously regular boyfriend who actually happened to be her biggest PR client… goes out of town to sisters and has a shot of getting in the middle of that relationship. Then things magically start to sort themselves out. Weird story with lots of meaningless sex.

Delightful characters and enough surprises in the plot to keep you turning the pages. Annie may have been in her thirties, but she had some growing up to do. Fun watching her do that!

3.0 out of 5 stars Didn't love
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2022

The story was just too long. The characters were a mess. The language was bad. I love reading books from other countries but this had so many references I didn't understand from TV shows, stores, etc. that made it even longer. At the halfway point I was begging for it to be done. Glad there was finally a happy ending but not my cup of tea.

This book is fabulous. It made me laugh out loud, weep quietly, filled me with joy, with empathy, happiness and sadness. Then, when it was finally at an end I had a sigh of relief that it was all just perfect. Haven't read such a satisfying book for ages. Thank you Claire.

1.0 out of 5 stars Annoying...
Reviewed in Canada on July 17, 2022

Just don't read books about cheaters and this books starts off with her cheating on her bf. Just a big fat no from me.

The characters were annoying, shallow and poorly drawn. Didn't read too far because I tried to see if she would redeem herself, but no, she didn't. There really needs to be a minus star!

3.0 out of 5 stars Too long and repetitive
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 1, 2022
Verified Purchase
After reading several psychological thrillers and crime novels I fancied something lighter. This certainly fulfilled that requirement but it was far too long and everything in the story was pretty much a repeat of what had gone before. It was too girlie for me and got rather boring, I ended up skipping through a lot of pages.
