About this listen

 The second sensational book in the Valentines series – a hilarious and heart-aching story about the impossible standards for being a girl.

Be yourself but, you know, someone else . . .

Enthusiastic but not desperate; calm but not dull; funny but not try-hard; sparky but not crazy; feisty but not aggressive; beautiful but relatable; elegant but not icy; confident but not arrogant; feminine but not girly; nice but not boring.

Faith Valentine has it all – fame, money and extraordinary beauty. But what she wants more than anything is a quiet life away from the cameras. Except nobody ever asks Faith what she wants, and her family’s expectations are crushing her.

The world thinks she’s perfect, but is there is more to perfection than meets the eye?©2020 Holly Smale (P)2020 HarperCollins Publishers Limited Literary Fiction Literature & Fiction Romance Romantic Comedy Comedy Funny Heartfelt Witty

Faith Valentine: Far from perfect

I love that we get a different story in the same family, from Faith’s perspective. It is interesting to see Faith’s life as it really is because we only knew her as the flawless perfect Valentine girl that everyone admires and is jealous of. Even though we got to see the original sister Hope who started off the series, it was sad that she would go off and live her own story and we wouldn’t be able to follow her anymore. Just like with the first book even though the characters are from a rich and famous family, she still felt relatable and her downward spiral and meltdowns were understandable with the amount of pressure she was always under. Everyone eventually cracks under pressure if you never get a break from it, and her smashing the mirror and shaving her head was a perfect example of that in the book. It reminded me a little bit of when Britney Spears shaved her head which is probably what this was inspired by. I love this book and I am currently listening to the next one in the trilogy. I have no complaints about the book itself. I just wished that Max Valentine the oldest out of the four siblings had his own book too
