Nobody's Perfect

By: Sally Kilpatrick

Narrated by: Coleen Marlo

From a USA Today bestselling author comes a poignant, funny, and heartfelt novel about a wife and mother grabbing hold of a second chance she never saw coming.

Vivian Quackenbush enjoys a typical life. She has winesday evenings with her two best friends. Her son is in college. She and her husband, Mitch, are planning the next move for their empty-nester future. But to Vivian’s blindsided surprise…not together.

After nearly twenty-five years of marriage, Mitch wants a divorce. He confesses that he doesn’t love her anymore. He never even liked her chicken salad! Brutal. What is Vivian to do but channel her anger, frustration, and pain into a video she posts online. Ill advised? Perhaps. Cathartic? Absolutely. Overnight, Vivian goes viral. Millions of views and counting—to Mitch’s fury, her son’s embarrassment, her mother’s support, and the media’s delight. For Vivian, it’s a moment of truth: hide or lean into it. Vivian 2.0 chooses to lean—maybe even toward the younger single father next door.

Now Vivian is wondering where she goes from here. She’s discovering that somewhere in her trending if upended life, she’ll have to figure out who she really wants to be.

Critic reviews

“A deftly scripted and original story that will hold the reader’s fascinated attention from first page to last. An extraordinary and highly recommended pick.”—Midwest Book Review

There could be a sequel

I'm reading 9 books for a holiday challenge and this for one of the prompts. It's a fairly predictable plot but written with both a sense of humor and a sympathetic MFC. This could be the set up for a second book about the bloosomimg second chance romance between Vivian and Parker.

touching story

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

I loved this- what happens in real life- book!
