For Taylor Young, life is very good. She has a handsome husband who loves her, three gorgeous children, a personally designed and decorated dream house. Suburbanite trendsetter and super mom, she reigns supreme over her perfect world. And as long as no one notices the fragile woman beneath her coiffed and polished image, things will stay that way.

Then a devastating secret bursts Taylor’s fairy-tale bubble, suddenly making her a cul-de-sac pariah and stripping her of the role that defined her. Struggling to maintain her alpha image, Taylor finds help from the unlikeliest of people, her nonconformist nemesis, Marta Zinsser. But to become the woman her family truly needs, Taylor must first believe in the person she is hardest on --- herself.

Critical Praise

"...The witty first-person narration keeps things lively in Porter’s latest. Taylor’s neurotic fussiness provides both vicarious thrills and laughs before Taylor moves on to self awareness and a new kind of empowerment. The glittery high-end fantasy is delivered with enough humor to leaven the silliness, making this a feel-good read."

––– Kirkus Reviews

"Just in time for summer, Porter delivers another fine batch of mommy lit."

––– Publishers Weekly

"Porter scores another home run with her latest."

––– Romantic Times Book Review (4 stars)

"Mrs. Perfect is the kind of book that resonates, so that weeks later you're still thinking it over and noticing the ripple effect it has around you. Taylor Young's quest for perfection will strike a deep chord in any woman who thinks she's not good enough, not smart enough, not thin enough, not a good enough mother, partner, or friend. Every one of us, then, should read this book."

––– Megan Crane, author of NAMES MY SISTERS CALL ME

"Real life hits trophy wife right in the Botox, in Porter’s empowering page-turner!"

––– Leslie Carroll, author of CHOOSING SOPHIE and PLAY DATES

"Jane Porter understands women. This is the kind of book you’ll want to share with your best friend."

––– Melanie Lynne Hauser, author of CONFESSIONS OF A SUPER MOM and SUPER MOM SAVES THE WORLD
