I really like this book, it explains the life of an A type personality
mom, the way it is written it makes it more comfortable to read, just a light
easy way.
It starts in the end of summer with our protagonist
Taylor the first phrase that catch my eye was "I know how to get things
done." it reminded me of myself, I tend to be a controller just like her.
Jane uses lots of descriptions in this book like "her
eyes look huge in her face, the skin pulled too taut across her cheekbones and
jaw, ruining the effect of all her expensive work." this makes it easier
for the reader to picture every single move as if you were in a movie.
Taylor's picture perfect life starts getting a little messy
when she learns that her "perfect" husband has been lying to her for
almost five months. I think creating an intriguing plot twist really helps; it
started as suspicions of an affair and slowly building up to the reality with a
middle kitchen confrontation.
It also talks about our society and how media affects it
"The most fashionable woman, the truly stylish women, are all thin."
we have created a high standards for woman to reach, we need to be pretty,
thin, desirable for man, intelligent (but not as the man that surround you), playful
but not childish, sexy but innocent; this are just some of the examples of what
society wants of a Mrs. Perfect.
