As an almost exclusively memoir reader, I was fascinated by the description of this book and was thrilled to receive an ARC. I had never heard of Kate Nason so I had no idea what to expect. Due to the names being changed and the scandal mentioned at the beginning of the book happening when I was very young, I honestly didn’t catch on for quite a ways into this book. I thoroughly enjoyed “Everything is Perfect” and think that the author is a lovely example of a person finding their way to being independent, to self love, and how those things can open the door for so much more.

If you enjoy memoirs, I’d highly recommend this book.

How did I miss this? Nason was married to a scumbag that had an affair with the intern who had an affair with the president in the last 90s. I guess I missed that angle of the story, when it was all coming out.
Nason put up with so much prior to the revelation. The affair went on for 5 years and the intern was not the innocent she tried to portray.
The author doesn’t use the intern’s real name or her husband’s which I found confusing and asking why not?? It’s not like it was a state secret.
I had to Google it to get clarification.
What a nightmare for the author who survived. The intern eventually wrote her an apology letter, but interspersed it with things she was unhappy that Nason had said and done and Nason forgave her because the intern was young. I cry BS on that.

What a book!!! It was so easy to sit down and get lost in the fluidity of Ms. Nason's writing. Although the events in her life may have felt less-than-perfect, the way the tale was told was incredible. The author told her story with much openness and dignity. <3

Fascinating story. I missed this part of it originally.

Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free, it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

Kate Nason tells an amazing memoir in Everything Is Perfect. I haven't heard or read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. This book gives a lot of information about her life, especially around her husband, who was a cheater. She was married to a man who had a lot of "other women" and one day, because of one woman, her heartbreak went public. I like how Nason dives into the roles of women and their roles. I really liked how she told the story, and was able to bring the story together. Her story and commentary, and how at first she ignored her own intuition. Nason has a bravery and courage that can't be measured by not just sharing the story, but telling it in her own voice, which makes it so real, and compelling. It's also about survival, and overcoming obstacles, especially by her husband. I recommend reading to it from beginning to end, including the author note, and epilogue. I look forward to reading or listening many more stories by this author.
