* ARC PROVIDED BY THE AUTHOR FOR AN HONEST REVIEW * If there was ever a story you can read over and over again and learn something new each time than it's Present Perfect. Now with Presently Perfect, this phenomenal author has done something so few can do, retold my beloved story thru the eyes of one of the top ten book boyfriends ever.

An emotional story that will have you heaving while crying ugly tears, laughing at loud, screaming at your Kindle, rejoicing and ultimately feeling every single emotion these two characters experience. An epic love story that will forever stay with you, this is the story of Noah and Amanda.

A boy who fell in love with a girl turns into the man who will save the woman. Read and experience the love story of two little children who grow up to become amazing brave adults.I can't tell you how much I loved reading every single word of this phenomenal novel. The epilogue is pure perfection and loves of the series will be wiping away a tear and saying to themselves " Well done Alison ... well done " A ONE CLICK MUST!!! When I started Presently Perfect, I was excited to revisit a couple I loved and thought it would be fun to have Noah's perspective on his and Tweet's saga. I thought I knew Tweet and Noah's story. I thought I knew their journey start to finish (I may have read Present Perfect once or twice) and all the heartbreaking details about their lives. Never in a million years did I think that the retelling of their tale was going to rip my heart out and gut me emotionally.I was wrong.Noah's experience and life was nothing like Tweet imagined. Everything we thought I knew about Noah seemed to be wrong. I was only just a few pages into Presently Perfect and I found myself feeling completely raw and anxious. I was devouring each page of the book like it was a brand-new story and I had no clue what was going to happen next. I think that speaks volumes about the author, Alison G. Bailey and her ability to write. It was spectacular.I adored Noah in Present Perfect. However, after reading his story and having the insight into his feelings in Presently Perfect, I am absolutely head over heels, madly in love with him. You may think you know what was actually going on with Noah but his story was clearly just for him to tell. The empathy I did not feel for him after reading Tweet's story, was suddenly there making my heart ache for him. You're blindsided by his truths and your heart breaks for him. You realize just how deeply painful chasing after his Tweet was and how much he loved her.I completely recommend Presently Perfect, both for fans of this series and for people who have never read Present Perfect. It is an incredible book. I loved it.
Do You like book Presently Perfect (2000)?
Not much different from the second book other then being in his side of the story.
