4 "love thy perfectly imperfect self" stars! 
 Willow certainly doesn't fit the willowy thin body type image. Her moronic, repulsive, and hateful stepfather, half sister and ex-husband (trust me, they deserve a lot harsher words than these) certainly don't help either. After her mother, the only family member who ever truly loved her, dies in a car crash when Willow was just teenager, she embarks on a downward spiral. She suffers from severe under-confidence and even more severe body issues. All this changes when Kane Masters enters her life. 
 What I loved about this story was that Willow's transformation from a meek, self-loathing woman to a confident woman who's comfortable in her own skin, whatever size it may be, doesn't happen because Kane magically changes her. He simply supports her through her journey. The strength that she develops is because of her own concerted efforts and not some overnight miracle. It's realistic and very relatable and provides an excellent example to all of us. 
 Willow's name itself is such a wonderful irony. I wonder if the author knowingly did this? Willow's name is a constant profound reminder to the readers of the primary social issue that the book is about. The whole idea about her nam seems so neat! 
 Perfectly Imperfect is that novel that is written just as much for the author herself as it is for the readers. It reiterates the point that no one should define what our best form is. Everyone's perfect is different and it is upto us what we want to be. Whether we want to attain that nice toned figure according to our body type, or we want to improve our skills or learn something new, is for our own enjoyment and not fit the role that the society defines for us.
