Perky (The Do-Over Series) Kindle Edition

by Julia Kent (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 1,233 ratings
AN ALL-NEW STANDALONE FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR JULIA KENT

One hundred years ago when I was young and impulsive (okay, it was five, alright? Five years ago…) I let my boyfriend take, let's just say...compromising pictures of me.

(Shut up. It made sense at the time).

Surprise! The sleazy back-stabbing jerk posted them on a website and, well, you can guess what happened. That’s right.

I’m a meme. A really gross one.

You're seen the pictures. And if you haven't – don’t ask. And don't look!

As face recognition software online improves, I get tagged on social media whenever anyone shares my pictures. You try getting a thousand notifications a day, all of them pictures of your tatas.

So. I’m done.

It’s time for revenge. Let him see how it feels! But how do you get embarrassingly intimate pictures of your jerkface ex who double-crossed you five years ago?

Especially when he’s a member of the U.S.House of Representatives now?

Getting sweet between the sheets with a congressman is pretty much every political roadie’s dream, right? I’m one in a crowd.

Except to this day, he swears he didn’t do it. Pursued me for months after I dumped him five years ago. Begged me to take him back.

And I almost did it. Almost. I was weak and stupid and in love a hundred years ago.

Okay. Fine. Five.

But I still have the upper hand. Second chance romance has all the emotional feels, doesn’t it?

I can’t wait to punch him in the feels.

All I need to do is sleep with him once, take some hot-and-sweaty pics of him in... delicate positions, and bring him down. That’s it. Nothing more.

Pictures first. Revenge after. And then I win.

At least, that’s how it was supposed to happen. But then I did something worse than sexting.

I fell in love with him. Again.

    Reviewed in Australia on 31 July 2019

    First book ever read by Julia Kent, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It is witty, with fast paced sharp dialogue and endearing, solid characters. It is firstly a romance between Parker and Persephone (Perky) but also shows the deep bonds of sisterhood. I personally, would have liked to have seen first hand (so to speak), the relationship between Parker and Perky, when they first met and were happy and in love, and then have it blow up in their faces (lol) to add more angst and bitterness. A prologue would have been fabulous to set the scene of this story. I understand that the situation was explained in Perky, however this story commenced five years after “the incident” and to me it felt a bit distant from it. As a result, there were times, especially in the beginning that I felt a bit at sea. Though predominantly a light comedic story, *starfish* it also dealt with a serious issue- bullying on social media platforms, and highlighted the humiliation and pain suffered by those involved. I enjoyed this story and would recommend it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perky is an absolutely brilliant read!
    Reviewed in Australia on 30 July 2019
    Perky was a fun and flirty, hilarious second chance at love RomCom, and I loved it. In Perky’s past is a monumental betrayal she might never get over after a personal picture went viral leaving her hurt and ashamed. All this she blames on Parker Campbell who is currently a hotshot congressman. She describes her ex-boyfriend Parker as a “rat bastard who took my soul and shredded it into a thousand pieces five years ago.” Mostly, this is in her past until Parker Campbell turns up at her best friend Mallory (& Will’s) wedding rehearsal dinner because he’s now a groomsman. As soon as Perky sees Parker all hell breaks loose... She decides the only way to get back at him is to get even. It’s been a long 5 years for both of them. 5 years later she doesn’t like him, but it’s more than likely that there’s lots of feelings still there... It’s a standalone in an amazing series, so do yourself a favour and ready Fluffy which is Mallory & Will’s story.

    When you laugh from the beginning, you know you are in for an amazing read.
    As a huge fan of her Shopping for a Billionaire series, I went in expecting to be amazed, but as with her other books, Julia Kent has delivered well developed characters and storylines which keep you begging for more.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Good if you like Janet evanovitch 2.5 stars
    Reviewed in Australia on 19 September 2019
    Verified Purchase
    This book is well written, some double ups mistakes with extra words, but I hated the main character- she was whiny and while she is a nice/kind/heart in the right place kind of person she didn't show any growth through the book and I dislike the 'I'm a dysfunctional functioning adult and I suck everyone down with me characters ' they are exhausting and irritating.
    So while this book was not my style and I shouldn't of gotten it, if you like the Janet Evanovitch style then you will like it. Could of been a great book if the main character was written as an actual adult not immature.

    Perky and Parker are adorable. Like they can't help their attraction and love though Perky is trying really hard not to cave in (or maybe not that much lol). I loved them together and the fact that their story starts exactly as the first book ends, it's like having just one biiig book!

    Wow. Julia Kent has done it again. I know all my Julia Kent reviews start this way but I have no other choice. She is by far one of the best authors I read.
    The sass and snark that comes off the page has me hooked. I love the character interactions, story arc and pure emotion that flows from the page. Every story had little comments that link back to other series characters, that gives me so much joy to know all these people live in the same universe.
    Perky and Parker are the epitome of lost love. An incident 5 years ago sends Perky running and hiding. When Parker turns up to Mallory and Wills wedding rehearsal rehearsal (see Fluffy for that rollercoaster) Perky still cannot forgive. Parker though has had enough of being ignored and as the newly elected, youngest congressman, he can put all his charm to good effect.
    I could not put this book down and you are a fool if you do not read it.
    That being said, if you read it you will love it. Give snark and love a chance.
    I can't wait for Feisty next 😊

    Julia Kent has been one of my favorite authors since I picked up her first of the shopping for..... billionaire series books!
    If you want a book to get you past all of life's crazy times, just grab one of hers!
    The biggest problem with these reads is you don't want to put them down so you finish them too soon! But not to worry, the second, third and fourth time you read them you enjoy them just as much!

    Reviewed in the United States on 13 August 2019

    I'm not sure why it surprised me that Julia Kent could intrigue me with a completely new series. After all, she as done it over and over again. It's the quirky characters that suck me in every time. This series was no exception. Set in a relatively small town, these stories, with outrageous elements, are relatable. Years ago, I could have been friends with Perky, Mal & Feisty.

    This second book in the series tells Perky (Persephone) and Parker's story. She abruptly broke things off 5 years prior because of the worst type of betrayal. He just wants a chance to defend himself. He gets the opportunity when invited to participate in the pre-wedding festivities of Perky's best friend Mal. Sparks fly and hilarity ensues. Though it's pretty obvious who the bad guy(s) is early on, the story is entertaining to the end.

    This new world Ms. Kent has created is definitely worth experiencing. It's at times, laugh-out-loud funny, and at others, angst-ridden. Now, as always, I'm anxiously awaiting the next book in a Julia Kent series.
