I was pleasantly surprised when I read this because this book was set a little apart from the other Kinsella stand-alones (with the exception of Finding Audrey ) in tone because it explored more serious issues regarding our society and the insecurities that any one living in it experiences on a daily basis. 
 My Not So Perfect Life is an extremely accurate portrayal of what our lives have become. Anything and everything revolves around our Instagram updates and the richer they make you look, the better. 
 Katie Brenner is barely making ends meet what with her new branding job in London, her crappy room in the apartment that she shares with two other people, her father's disappointment in her London life, and reinventing herself as Cat the Londoner. It wouldn't matter much to her, except her head is full of ideas that she just wishes her boss, Demeter would notice. 
 Demeter's life is everything Katie wishes her life could be. She's gorgeous, has a great career, a loving family and a town house with the most gorgeous marble steps anyone has ever seen. In addition to everything else, (view spoiler)[ she's also sleeping with the guy Katie has a phenomenal crush on. (hide spoiler)] 
 This is the story of Katie and Demeter's lives unravelling and coming together again in the most unimaginable ways possible. After all, Katie's life may not be perfect, but neither is Demeter's. 
 I feel like this book is an essential read for every person who's ever felt a little less because of other people's Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat updates. 
 Rating: 4 stars for thought-provoking premise but lack of excitement.
