Publisher's summary

When Mia shows up for the interview at a well-known architecture firm, she only has 27p, a squashed loaf of bread, and a jar of peanut butter to her name.

She needs this job, even if she is scared to death of the owner of the company.

Max has made a name for himself as that grumpy northern architect off Dreams Homes (the most popular property design program in the UK) after he told the famous host that designing affordable, environmentally friendly homes "wasn't rocket science" and that most of the other projects featured on the program were for "right poncy bastards who want to spend a grand on a shite tap." It turned out that the whole gorgeous-but-rough-around-the-edges-Yorkshire-man vibe was just what the country was looking for. The episode had gone viral, and Max was the extremely reluctant new pin-up of the building industry.

To Mia, huge, grumpy men aren't sexy; they're simply terrifying. She knows from experience that even men of average size can be dangerous. If she weren't so desperate, she'd run. She's used to running. Running away is Mia's special talent, together with invisibility—survival techniques she's perfected over the years. So, she'll put up with Max and his moods, ignore him calling her a teen emo freak (he's not to know that her black hair used to be honey blonde or her heavy eyeliner isn't by choice), and just bloody well jog on. Just try to survive. Try to hide.

It's easy to hide when nobody really sees you. But what happens when Max finally opens his eyes?

Unperfect is a full-length, contemporary, grumpy boss office romance.

excellent overall

What a performance! The book itself and the story are well written and compelling, pulling emotions out and really portraying the complex nature of this storyline. But what put this over the top was the performance from the actors. So well done!

The feels😭🤣🤤🙄🤔😳😣🫣😊

the blurb on this one doesn't make it justice. The best part was the narrators they literally brought it to life! the emotional rollercoaster on this one had me pulling 0 G's all over the place. aww'ing and laughing hystericaly or simply bawling my eyeballs out and everything in between. If you wanna get lost in your feels this one is a great one for it. I recommend!!😍

Serious Issues

In UNPERFECT, author Susie Tate handles some extremely difficult issues with frank intelligence. Although the complications of a life damaged by partner abuse are occasionally addressed in romance novels, the ptsd experienced by Mia is rarely explored as thoroughly as in this novel. We meet a terrified Mia at her lowest point and see her through the eyes of the people who meet her then. We see the misunderstandings and the lasting effects of the trauma she's experienced. We also get to see the reaction of those around her as they become increasingly aware of what she has been through. Her reluctance to trust or to believe in herself is slowly overcome by the kindness and support that she has found in her new friends . But that isn't entirely enough and we know she'll continue to need that support even as she gets stronger and further away from her time under her abuser's influence.
I highly recommend this story, but be warned that there are some very upsetting scenes, not only the ones where she confronts her tormentor.
Excellent narration!

Heartbreakingly Refreshing

I had to stop listening to audio books for a while because I was in a rut. Everything I listened to sounds similar or just bored me. I am so glad I came across this one. The story captured my attention, the voices were amazing and the characters were very likable. Usual I like strong female leads not damsel in distress but I actually found the female lead to be one of my favorite characters. She was strong in spite of all she had gone through. I even loved her self reflection and growth. It is hard to look back and see that what we thought was important was not especially after pursuing it so fiercely and neglecting what is really important like family and friends. This was my first book by Susie Tate but I like her style and will look for more of her books and audiobooks. I like the secondary characters so much that I want to hear the next book in this series. I hope it is just as good. I nearly finished this in one weekend because I couldn't stop listening and wanted to know what would happen next. I felt like it would be predictable and yet it still played out a bit different than I thought it would. It was Heartbreakingly Refreshing. Perfect timing too since I was maxed out on audio book credits and needed to use at least one before I lost it. I am glad I used the credit on this one. Thanks!

The narrators were great!

I’ve already read the entire series but listening to the first book was like experiencing it for the first time again. The narrators were great actors and made me fall in love with the story even more. Even when I knew what was coming with Mia’s background, the emotion her narrator portrayed made me tear up! Max’s narrator really brought him to life with his grumpiness and sarcasm. Even if you’ve read the book I encourage you to listen to this story.
