About this listen
A captivating, honest and wry novel about a forty-something woman on the brink. Is it Peri? A midlife crisis? Or simply a cry for help?
Cassie Prince lives in a beautiful beach suburb with her successful husband Jon and their children Ellie and Danny. Life is perfect, right?
Except now she's reached her mid-forties, she can't help wondering what happened to the fun-loving, sexy and accomplished woman she used to be. This isn't what was promised. She's panicking about ageing, bored in her marriage, exhausted by her demanding kids, and increasingly torn by news of her sick mother back in England.
So Cassie does what she's always done - buries her feelings and ignores her problems (and does some more online shopping).
Then at school drop-off she meets Chris Lancaster, a charismatic widowed father-of-five. Soon she can't stop imagining romantic scenarios between them, even daydreaming of a future together.
She may have been spiralling these last few months, but now Cassie is convinced that the unsuspecting and still vulnerable widower is the answer to everything...

'Everything is Perfect is a humorous but also a raw, honest, eye-opening account of a woman staring down the barrel of middle age. It is not only an accomplished piece of writing, but also an absorbing, gripping novel about a woman teetering on the edge.' DIANNE BLACKLOCK

A fabulous mix of real life, comedy and emotional depth.
I loved it and I loved Cassie! So entertaining and real. The author is very accurate in describing human nature and relationships. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Page turner about insane behaviour
Wow I don't know what book Ali Lowe was reading but there is nothing hilarious about this story, also has very little to do with peri. It's about mental illness, child abuse, childhood trauma, (part) mid life crisis, stalker behaviour , deranged behaviour & being over sexed. Also supports the theory not everyone should procreate! Saw the author speak at words on waves writers festival & was expecting something much more frivolous based on excepts she read. Well written, got through it in 2 days, absolute page turner to see what nut case behaviour happens next. Great debut, in fact debut or not, it's a very serious topic & well written.
