Read Perfect Life Storyline:
"Jessica Shattuck's engrossing, deceptively ambitious novel explores a wide range of subjects . . . with a shrewd and sympathetic eye."—Tom Perrotta"In this smart and engaging follow-up to her well-received debut, The Hazards of Good Breeding, Shattuck focuses on three privileged Gen X college roommates who are now grown up, coupled up, and raising kids in pre-recession Boston. The cracks in their 'perfect lives' begin to show when the most precocious of the trio, a gorgeous striver named Jenny whose husband is infertile, makes the unconventional decision to have a baby with a sperm donation from Neil, her brainy, slacker ex-boyfriend from Harvard. . . . Stylish storytelling and sharp social commentary . . . make Perfect Life both topical and eminently readable."—PeoplePages of Perfect Life :
