A Book Review - Perfecting Kate

Perfecting Kate, A Novel by Tamara Leigh

Kate has a creed of thou shalt embrace singledom and be unbelievably, inconceivably happy.  Kate is single, and yes she is content with her life until she meets Michael a famous makeup artist who makes a few helpful suggestions - followed up with business cards of plastic surgeons and beauty professionals.  The helpful suggestions include removal of a mole, fixing that little gap in her teeth, a new wardrobe… 

What the writer does very well is take us inside Kate’s head as she figures out what is really important in her life as she works through the ideas presented by Michael.  All the while she is busy working as a successful artist in San Francisco and trying to juggle a relationship with God, long hours of work and the possibility of several romantic relationships.  The story is a romantic novel that doesn’t get too sappy or too ‘preachy’ for being in the Christian section of the bookstore.  A thumb up on this one!
