Everything Is As Perfect As It Seems

Grace Parker has spent her entire life walking on eggshells - flinching at slammed doors, holding her breath through every drunken rage, and doing everything she can to shield her little brother from the monster hiding behind their father's smile. She's mastered the art of disappearing, blending into the shadows where it's safer - where love can't reach her.

Because love? Love is dangerous. Love is bruises hidden beneath long sleeves. Love is whispered apologies that never last. Love is promises broken over and over again.

Then she meets Jack Jr. Reid - the boy with the brightest smile and the softest eyes, who somehow sees her even when she's trying to disappear. He makes her feel something she's never let herself feel before - safe. But Grace knows better than to believe in fairytales. Because every time someone loves her, they end up broken.

And Jack... he deserves to be whole.

So she pushes him away, even when he's the only thing keeping her from falling apart.

But Jack isn't afraid of her broken pieces. He isn't afraid of the darkness she's been drowning in for years. He wants to love her - if only she'd let him.

In a world where perfect families hide their ugliest secrets behind closed doors, Everything Is As Perfect As It Seems is a heart-wrenching story about finding the courage to let someone love you - even when you're convinced you're unlovable.

Because sometimes the most broken hearts are the ones most deserving of love.

Perfect doesn't always mean happy.
And some love stories are written in the cracks.
