“I’ve been unsure about many things in my life except for one thing, that I have always loved him. Every single minute of every single day that I have been on this earth, my heart has belonged to him. It has never been a question, never a doubt. The love had taken on many different forms over the years, but it had always been a constant.
Everyone has their definition of love. There have been … have been countless songs sung about it. A gazillion books, articles, and poems written about it. There are experts on love who will tell you how to get it, keep it, and get over it.
We’re led to believe love is complicated. It’s not the love that’s complicated. It’s all the crap that we attach to it and put in front of it that makes it difficult. If you’re smart, you’ll realize this before it’s too late and simplify.”

This book was so good. The bond and relationship between Noah and Amanda that started since birth is so beautiful. Noah made me swoon several times through out this book. Trust me you are going fall in love with that man in a heartbeat. Though I felt so bad for him because the love of his life wasn’t ready. As much as this story is …

My heart is hurting and I have snot…
My eyes are puffy from leaking and I’m mentally exhausted from reading this book.
Gah! I’m also still a little angry with Amanda for being a scaredy-cat.
I mean, it was obvious how much Noah loved her but boy did she make him suffer.
The letters near the end nearly broke me completely, I thought “AFTER ALL …
Audio Review: Present Perfect (Perfect #1) by Alison G. Bailey (Author), Appelusa McGlynn (Narrator)
Innovative. Inspiring. Ironic. Past Perfect sets itself apart from the standard romance format. Bailey dares to be different by writing a love song that puts the duet to the test with some thought provoking solo work. Noah and Amanda put all of …
Holy Wow! This book is filled with so much angst but so much heart. Tweet and Noah really have a special relationship. I the push and pull throughout the story had me on the edge of my seat! Every time I thought they had the crap figured out something else would happen. A lot of the drama is because of age obviously then comes the biggest twist …
This is the first book I have read by this author, and let me say, AMAZING! Noah and Tweet, I have no words….. He really is the ultimate Knight in plastic armor. Their love for each other is so fierce. And we can’t leave out Dalton…. This book is an emotional grab your heart story, that’s so hard to put down, but you don’t want it to end.
3-1/2 Stars!
While I liked the message this book represents I didn’t really click with the characters. I hated Noah throughout the entire book, I didn’t think he was that great of a guy at all. Amanda wasn’t my favourite either. I know they were young & emotions are volatile at that age. So it was very realistic. When we met Dalton, my hopes …
This story has given me real mixed emotions. I’m completely torn about my feelings. On one level, there is so much emotion and feeling, there were times I was so lost in the story I had tears in my eyes and a huge smile on my face, but at other times, I wanted to skip pages just to get through.
I can’t really put my finger on exactly what it was …
So I’m going to start this review off by saying the things that a good about it. It’s well written with a decent story. Noah is a great character and I felt horrible for him most of the book.
Now let’s talk about Amanda. She was pretty much insufferable for most of the book. I honestly couldn’t stand her. I also could have done without all the …
Amanda (aka Tweet) and Noah have been best friends for as long as they can remember. As they grow older, they start to see each other in a different light. Noah would give anything just to be with her, but would Amanda risk losing their friendship?
While this is a story that will stay with me for a long time and I loved how it ended, I found the …
******* AUDIOBOOK REVIEW *******
The cover of Present Perfect is what drew me in. I was curious after listening to The Dance and wanted to check out some other books by this author. I was a bit unsure if this was a young adult story or if it was a sort that tracked a couple their entire lives… it’s a bit of both. I didn’t love this story like I …
