0This was SO cute! I’m such a sucker for enemies-to-lovers and add in a mystery element? Chef’s kiss.
Ms Perfectly Fine starts out with Autumn, a closed-off pianist who endured a tragic accident years prior, and Elijah, a tech company owner that basically has daddy issues. Cue the fun: Autumn wakes up one morning to Elijah moving in—courtesy of Autumn’s landlord that rented out a room to Elijah without informing Autumn. Did I also mention Autumn’s been receiving increasingly insidious mystery roses annually on the anniversary of her accident? Yeah, it’s a whirlwind.
I really enjoyed this! It was such a cute, quick read that’s guaranteed a good time. It’s a tale of love, second chances, persistence, and forgiveness. I liked the mystery aspect as well—it kept me second guessing myself until the final few chapters. Their relationship did move really quickly, in almost an unrealistic way; but, I loved every minute of it! SO very excited to read The Naughty or Nice Clause by Kate next!
0Unfortunately, Ms. Perfectly Fine left me in a reading funk, and finishing it felt like a prolonged journey. The plot revolves around Autumn, a concert pianist making a comeback after a traumatic incident, disrupted by unexpected distractions in her living space. Despite being marketed as enemies-to-lovers, the slow pacing and the absence of genuine animosity from Elijah didn't deliver the anticipated tension.
While I appreciated the portrayal of Autumn's struggles with chronic pain, the addition of a stalker/mystery subplot felt unnecessary and detracted from the main narrative. It left me wishing for a more focused exploration of the core themes.
In the end, Ms. Perfectly Fine didn't meet my expectations, and I would caution others to consider skipping it. The unfulfilled promise of the enemies-to-lovers theme, combined with a slow plot and an unnecessary subplot, made this a challenging and less enjoyable read for me.
