Clare Gilmore does it again! Perfect Fit has my heart!

It has been awhile since I read a book where the main couple are as perfect together as Josephine and Will are. They complement each other so well and have undeniable chemistry from the moment we meet them!

I can’t recommend this book enough! Clare Gilmore I can’t wait to see what you do next!

“His praise is like helium, slipping out of his mouth on a breath and under my limbs. I feel buoyed.” Where twenty other authors would have written about a man giving a woman butterflies in her stomach, that’s the image Clare Gilmore conjured instead. And that’s what set Clare apart from the first time I read her words.

I talk about this a lot, the anxiety that a follow-up book from an author is not going to be as good as the thing you so loved. And I really, REALLY loved Clare’s debut, “Love Interest.” But I had a feeling it wouldn’t have to worry about this here, and she proves with “Perfect Fit” that she is a consistent talent and a breath of fresh air in the world of contemporary romance. She had me laughing at page one and crying the best kind of tears by the end.

“Perfect Fit” is so much more than a romance, though the relationship between Josie and Will is so beautiful to watch unfold. Clare celebrates the importance of friendship as well as the importance of love. She also gives what feels like such a real look into what it’s like to be a successful woman, the struggles that come along with it, and whether it matters if you “have it all.”

“Perfect Fit” comes out in October, and I highly recommend preordering it!

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press for inviting me to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I was invited to review an ARC of Clare’s book today. I literally dropped every other book (including my library ones) to read this. I have ZERO regrets.

I messaged this to Clare while reading, but it bears repeating here. I am a HUGE fan of Love Interest. It is such a special book to me for so many reasons. I was so scared I wouldn’t love this book as much, because of how much I loved Love Interest. I have never been so very happy to be so very wrong.

Clare crafted two people who couldn’t be more perfect for each other, who were a victim of circumstances as teens. This second chance romance had me squealing, blushing, and cheering on these two love sick cuties.

Things I loved about this book:
Everything. Literally did not dislike one thing about this book but here are some things I absolutely adored listed out.
The female friendships were SO strong! I loved Cami and thought she was an amazing counter part to Josie.
Josie. I love her I love her I love her. She’s so likable and refreshing as a character. Her insecurities are my insecurities. (Clare literally is in my brain, I’m convinced)
WILL - “I am happiest when I am giving you what you want.” SAY LESS 👌🏻 (Will is everything to me. He’s joining the top tier BF ranks)
The second chance romance is so damn good.
Will’s secret 🥹
No third act breakup!!!!
That epilogue. YOU TEASE!!

I loved this. I love Clare. I can’t wait to get my paper copy and annotate it to my hearts content since I highlighted half of the book 🥰

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
