BOOK REVIEWS I FOUND ON HER SITE THAT SAY IT BEST:


It is impossible to put PERFECTION down as we follow Julie Metz through her true story of love, lies, loss, and moving forward. Her raw and brave writing makes you want to cheer Metz on as she pieces her life back together, one beautiful sentence at a time.
Marian Fontana, author of Widows Walk and Middle of the Bed


Six months after her husband's funeral, Julie Metz discovered his five mistresses, one of them her presumed friend. She writes, "I couldnt kill Henry anymore, since he was, conveniently enough, dead. The seed of PERFECTION was rage, yet Metzs fury is not ugly, not even vengeful. Instead it provides this books beautiful testimony that, instead of killing the subject, the author can do something that diminishes him even more totally. She can forgive him and move on. That accomplishment, via prose, leaves me breathless.
Sarah Manguso, author of The Two Kinds of Decay
