In this second book in The Superlatives trilogy from Endless Summer author Jennifer Echols, Harper and Brody think they're an unlikely match, but the senior class says they belong together.

 

As yearbook photographer, Harper is responsible for those candid moments that make high school memorable. But her own life is anything but picture perfect. Her parents' bitter divorce left her wondering what a loving relationship looks like. And ever since the senior class voted her and star quarterback Brody 'Perfect Couple That Never Was', her friends have been pushing her to ask Brody out.

Brody doesn't lack female admirers, but Harper can't see herself with him. He's confused about the match too. Yet they find themselves drawn together; first by curiosity about why the class paired them, then by an undeniable bond.

 

The trouble is, though they're attracted to each other, they have a hard time getting along or even communicating well. If they're the perfect couple, this shouldn't be so difficult! Soon it becomes clear their class was wrong, and they throw in the towel. But they feel so changed from making the effort, they can't forget each other. What if this match made in hell is the perfect couple after all?

Perfect Couple is the second book in the young adult contemporary romance series, Superlatives by Jennifer Echols. The idea behind the series is super cute-each of the books focuses on a different coupling of kids from the same high school. The first book was about the two students that were named Biggest Flirts and this book is about an unlikely pair that was named “The Perfect Couple that Never was”. This is a new superlative to me, but I really like it! I wounder who my high school would have paired me up with if I was chosen for this superlative. In fact, this is how the summary describes the books, and I think it is pretty spot on:

Perfect Couple is #2 in the Superlatives series about seniors at a Florida high school who are selected for their class’s superlative categories in the yearbook, and how the labels change the way they view themselves and alter the course of their lives.

Just like the first book, Perfect Couple was a really fun read. The kind of light hearted book that is sure to make you feel good and put a smile on your face. Perfect Couple follows Harper, who is a very by-the-rules kind of girl. She was voted to be the perfect couple that never was with the schools quarterback, easy going Brody. She thinks the school got it so wrong, but I really liked the two of them. I think Jennifer Echols made it a little too easy sometimes though. Yes, both Brody and Harper were each dating someone else, but Harper’s boyfriend was way too easy to hate. He was such a jerk! And he treated Harper awful. I couldn’t figure out why she was even with him in the first place. So it was so easy to root for her and Brody.

Perfect Couple is great for fans of cute, funny and romantic comedy for the young adult age group. I love that we got to see so much of the characters from the first book. Each book can be read as a standalone, but it is fun to read them in order and so you know the back stories when they mention the other superlative people throughout the story. Fans of Miranda Kenneally and Simone Elkeles will enjoy this series a lot.
