Andrea's Review:
Imperfect Love is a heart wrenching story. The first half of the book focuses on a relationship that is struggling and crumbling. I really felt for Lauren and disliked Paul immensely. I wondered if he was being unfaithful, and came to realize that being unfaithful doesn't need to intimately involve a person outside the relationship. He was unfaithful by putting his work and parents over Lauren.
I can only imagine the struggle that people have when they get the news that their baby has a severe disability, but Paul was so stubborn. I wish he would have at least considered other options, but I was very grateful that Lauren followed her heart in the decision about her baby.
The story isn't as predictable as you anticipate from all of the details in the book blurb. Talley throws in a few curve balls that keep a reader on their toes.
Ethan was great. He really seemed like the perfect guy-handsome, successful, caring.
I loved the happy ending and the courage displayed to make the best out of what we're given, and that we can do hard things.
As much as I enjoyed the story, I would have appreciated the book blurb to not give away so much of the story, or for the time spent on the bad relationship to take up less of the story.
