If you're looking for a sweet and fluffy romance, Sarah Adams' "Practice Makes Perfect" is a wonderful and enjoyable read.

The book's side characters, who strongly evoke the spirit of Gilmore Girls, are among its best features. Their presence gives the story more charm and depth, which makes it even more delightful.

As anticipated, the book's central relationship is adorable and endearing. The characters have interesting dialogue, and reading about their interactions is fun. I found it very admirable that both characters were forthright about their desires and expectations, which brought a welcome candor to their partnership.

I did, however, have a few problems with Annie, the main character. Her youthful and immature demeanor made it difficult to relate to her character. In spite of this, I thought her eccentricities were adorable and contributed to her allure.

The narrators of the audiobook version of this novel were excellent, although there seemed to be a small discrepancy in the way the characters were presented. Their encounters were difficult since Will sounded much older than Annie did. If I had read the book instead, I think I might have liked it more.

All things considered, Practice Makes Perfect is a lighthearted and enjoyable book that lives up to its promise of a sweet romance.
