The Imperfects | 
so-soThis book was simultaneously fascinating and frustrating! It takes the real-life story of the missing Florentine diamond and speculates: what would happen if your grandmother left it to your family after her death? The Miller family are indeed the "imperfects" of the title, and watching them make poor decisions is the frustration of this book, but I still found it compelling.
#ReadySetRead2023: a book with 3+ people on the cover
pickDysfunctional family drama about an inheritance that could potentially solve everyone‘s problems or could create a whole new set of issues for three warring siblings, their divorced mom and long ago absent father. I thought this book was quirky & clever and I enjoyed the historical component of the Florentine Diamond. Plus added bonus, the book was literally set on my old street, so I had a real sense of nostalgia.
I‘m LOVING this book…its literally set on my old street where I first grew up in Lower Merion… Edgehill Road. This would work for several #52Books23 prompts - still not sure which prompt I‘ll use it for. I‘m 💯 certain the author, Amy Meyerson is a local girl…right @DivineDiana ? !! She‘s already named Hymies and Laurel Hill Cemetery 😁
Family drama
Loved this book! I loved learning about the Florentine diamond, and this potential history of the diamond. The family dynamics were very authentic. A great read!
Here‘s how the Diamond may have looked in a brooch with a Cattleya Orchid

pickThis book was well perfect. I found the characters and family dynamics so realistic. The story was beautifully written along with the history of the Florentine diamond. If I had the time, the author lists many resources in the back to do more research.

The Imperfects may just be perfect!

Ready to read! It‘s now snowing in SC but it‘s cold and raining, so I‘m cuddled up under my bookish quilt with a cup of cocoa!
pickA good book but you need the patience to read through some irritating characters..

pickI tore through this family drama in less than 24 hours. It has everything: secrets, history, heartbreak, Hope. So good.
Coming off of my birthday weekend, celebrating my 30th 🤭, I thought I‘d share the stack of books I treated myself too! 📚📚📚📚#BookHaul
It was super lowkey, drank wine and mojitos with the husband, made a stop at my indie bookshop, visited my parents, and then binged most of Take a Hint, Dani Brown (which is just as lovely as Chloe‘s story).
pickThis book weaves the history surrounding the missing in real life Florentine diamond with the history of the fictional Miller family. Family dysfunction, family secrets, and long standing patterns of behavior make for a good story.
pickThis was my first Amy Meyerson book and is similar to The Nest. It focuses on the Millers: Helen who leaves her things to her daughter, Deborah, and her grandchildren: Ashley, Jake, and Beck. Based on the real missing Florentine Diamond, it has parts of historical fiction where Helen‘s history is shown. All the characters seem interesting and real. I liked the ending which was a bit unexpected. #ReadYourSign #Taurusbook ♉️
pickLike my reaction to Meyerson's The Bookshop of Yesterdays, I was engaged through most of the book. However, the ending was unsatisfying to me—too sudden and pat. Too, her main characters (at least based on these two works) tend to be self-centered and immature. I just felt let down by the end of the book.
I saw Amy Meyerson online last night. I had forgotten that I won this book from the book fairies and it arrived in today‘s mail. #bookmail #ibelieveinbookfairies #tbfimperfects
