2 1 y separately published work icon Perfect-ish Jessica Seaborn , Melbourne : Michael Joseph , 2023 26225248 2023 single work novel

'On the cusp of turning thirty, Prue feels like everyone else is living their best life. Her friends are boasting about everything from their wellness achievements and exciting travel plans to their romantic relationships and newborn babies. Prue on the other hand is struggling to recover from a failed marriage engagement and an abandoned university degree, and her job at Love on the Line counselling lonely people only seems to highlight how truly alone she really feels herself.

'As Prue finds the courage to make real changes in her life, setting three (rather ambitious) goals to achieve before her milestone birthday, she soon comes to realise that perhaps she has been focusing on the wrong things all along. There’s a difference between seeming to have a perfect life and finding your own perfect-ish life, and being far from picture perfect is perfectly okay' (Publication summary)
