Thank you Wednesday Books and NetGalley for the eARC of The Perfect Guy Doesn't Exist!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I really like the concept of The Perfect Guy Doesn't Exist but I like the story between Ivy and Mack more than Weston coming to life.  While his antics are funny at first, eventually it gets a little old when Ivy constantly has to worry about who will watch him.  Ivy and Mack healing their friendship made for the much better storyline.

Setting: Pennsylvania 
Rep: bisexual protagonist; Black lesbian love interest 

I sailed through this in a morning - it's a quick, easy read but it didn't feel like a Sophie Gonzales book to me. The characters felt underdeveloped, as did the plot. It was fine, but nothing more, and it really lacked the heart of her other books.

This just wasn’t for me - the premise was too ridiculous and the life lessons too earnest. It would definitely be appreciated for the audience it was intended though.

Fun & and easy ready, but didn't love it quite as much as Never Ever Getting Back Together.
