Perfect Match

I picked this book up at Zuly’s recommendation.  Normally I don’t like books where murder is involved to any degree, so I was a bit skeptical going into this one.

The author has a unique writing style.  The book is written in first person narrative, where the narrator is Nina, the mother.  It is also written in third-person from the viewpoint of all the main characters (all of them EXCEPT Fisher, Nina’s attorney).  In between chapters it also contains little memories written in first person by Nathaniel, the son.

Perfect Match is a story of a mother trying to protect her son.  She is a prosecutor and has handled many child molestation cases only to come home one day and find out her own child has been molested.  She knows that the legal system does not work in the child’s best interest in these sorts of cases, so she decides to take the law into her own hands.

I didn’t care for any of the main characters.  I thought all of them were completely selfish.  The ending of the book has a twist, but it doesn’t really make the book any better in my opinion.

All in all, it was a WONDERFUL book.  Definitely one of my new favorites.
