“Excellent. Great characters, I wanted to know Beau and Belle and make Kate my best friend. I really enjoyed the story, not as predictable as I expected. Lots of fun and Biblical messages.”

“At first glance this looks like a superficial friend makeover with romance book but it's so much more than that. The friends are mismatched and walking on egg shells around each other because of faith issues. The romance is rich with forgiveness, trust, infertility, redemption and healing woven throughout. I loved that this book covered premature ovary failure (POF). I never saw that investigated before. I also appreciated character issues like adultery, miscarriage, leaving homosexuality and the consequences of them. I was rooting for Kate and Clive---this was a moving read. Will Maia's story be forthcoming?”

“I didn't relate to this story as much as to the author's other two, and it took me a little longer to get into it, but it didn't take long before it sucked me in and ended up really caring about the main characters. Another highly recommended read from Tamara Leigh!”

“I easily slid into Kate's corner from the first sentence of the prologue. Her needy, yet quirky personality is fresh and delightful; she's a real diamond in a world of cubic zirconium. And just when I thought I had things figured out Leigh penned another twist in the plot, and I was back to guessing.

This is chick lit at its finest—a story for both young and old. On the back side of never-you-mind, I could still relate to Kate's struggles with self esteem, and I felt her pain over her physical afflictions. And while the novel deals with some deep issues, they're delivered with humor.
Devoid of predictable romantic plotting, I alternately cheered for Michael and Clive—although I did want to slap Michael a couple of times. And then there's Maia. She was enough to test anyone's Christianity.
Kate's faith journey parallels our own: two steps forward, one step back. Leigh presents an honest portrayal of a new Christian growing in her walk with the Lord. Kate fails daily, as do we all. Yet she perseveres, often leaving me smiling at her predicaments.
A thoroughly rewarding and marvelous read—the kind of book you sigh over when you turn the last page, Perfecting Kate receives this reviewer's high recommendation.
