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.

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

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.

very interesting story of Kate Nason's life. Her husband cheated on her , very easy interesting read.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the Kindle ARC in exchange for an honest review. Kate Nason's memoir, Everything is Perfect, is a sad but true story of betrayal in a marriage. Kate was married and divorced in her early 20s and swore that she would never marry again. She is a single mom of one young daughter, living in L.A. after a personal tragedy. She meets Charlie who asks her 10 times to marry him. She loves him and his company and he seems to feel the same way. She tells herself: twice married is ok, twice divorced is not ok. She resists as long as she can and eventually marries Charlie. Her misgivings haunt her as she suspects Charlie is having an affair or multiple affairs, which is turns out he was. Ms. Nason's writing is so strong on the subject of betrayal - and I'm writing as a person who knows. Not only does her husband cheat but it turns out one of the women he was cheating with also had an affair with the President of the United States later down the line. She describes what goes through her mind with suspicions and facts, all while her husband gaslights her.
It's heartbreaking to read but also very compelling and honest.

I finished this book in tears. The trauma, the pain, the anger, the depression, the confusion, the journey towards freedom and healing. The author’s mention of her PTSD getting reactivated: I appreciated that. It’s so honest and real. I can relate to her emotions so much, even though my trauma and pain is completely different.

Everything is not perfect in Kate Nason’s remarkable memoir. While many names have been changed to protect some bystanders and to not reveal the true nature of Ms. Nason’s husband’s (Charlie, a pseudonym) extramarital activities, the core story is completely true.

On her second marriage, Ms. Nason is either blind or in denial that her husband is a philandering fraud - hiding in plain sight his ongoing relationship with not only “Mallory” but other women as well. When she finally has had enough and the person “Mallory” is is revealed, it’s truly down the rabbit hole for Ms.Nason. Eventually she dumps her husband and moves on to repair her life.

The book, while clearly non-fiction, reads like a novel in voice, pacing, narrative, and point of view. Once I got into the story I could not put the book down.

Bravo to Ms. Nason for telling all in such a captivating way.

I received this book as an ARC from the publisher and NetGalley.
