Unfortunately, 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.
