In a Perfect World
In a Perfect World | Trish Doller
16 posts | 16 read | 12 to read
From critically acclaimed author Trish Doller comes a gorgeous, hopeful, and heartbreaking novel, set in Cairo, Egypt, about the barriers we tear down for the people and places we love most. Caroline Kelly is excited to be spending her summer vacation working at the local amusement park with her best friend, exploring weird Ohio with her boyfriend, and attending soccer camp with the hope she'll be her team's captain in the fall. But when Caroline's mother is hired to open an eye clinic in Cairo, Egypt, Caroline's plans are upended. Caroline is now expected to spend her summer and her senior year in a foreign country, away from her friends, her home, and everything she's ever known. With this move, Caroline predicts she'll spend her time navigating crowded streets, eating unfamiliar food, and having terrible bouts of homesickness. But when she finds instead is a culture that surprises her, a city that astounds her, and a charming, unpredictable boy who challenges everything she thought she knew about life, love, and privilege.

Currently reading In A Perfect World, figuring a contemporary after all the fantasy lately would be a good change of pace. I've studied Islamic and Egyptian art recently in my Art History course so it's fun to read about a modern Egyptian setting with references to the culture, architecture, and historical sites. Page 81 and it's exactly what I thought it would be so far. Really enjoying it.

I just finished this book yesterday and wow. I was expecting it to be simply a cutesy travel contemporary (because, let's face it, I am a sucker for those during the summer) but I actually learned quite a lot. I learned a lot about life in Egypt and a lot about the Muslim religion. The characters were beautifully diverse. Overall a really good read! Excelled my expectations!

Read this in one sitting on vacation. It was the perfect book for the day. Trish Doller makes you fall in love as her characters do, as she always does. 💙

If I'm only meant to be a footnote in the history of Adam Elhadad, then maybe we should make it a really good footnote.

Really enjoying this one - love these characters and the setting of Cairo, Egypt - which is on my list of places to visit
