Perfect Life by Jessica Shattuck
Advance praise for Perfect Life Perfect Life is a vivid, fascinating snapshot of the way some of us live now. Jessica Shattuck's engrossing, deceptively ambitious novel explores a wide range of subjects-from the logistics of adultery and the complexities of friendship to the nuts and bolts of video game design and pharmaceutical marketing-with a shrewd and sympathetic eye.-Tom Perrotta, author of The Abstinence Teacher In graceful, lambent prose, Jessica Shattuck explores modern life, with all its moral ambiguity and complicated compromises, never judging, always illuminating. A beautiful book.-Janice Y. K. Lee, author of The Piano Teacher Jessica Shattuck writes warmly and wryly of family, friendship, nature versus nurture, and the quest for the perfect life. This novel is smart, funny, and life-affirming in all its permutations.-Binnie Kirshenbaum, author of The Scenic Route
