I particularly enjoyed reading about life on board the cruise ship and there was some excellent description as it passed through the Panama Canal. Also, this setting allowed the author to introduce a diverse but fun collection of minor characters all enjoying their own cruising experience. I equally loved reading the chapters about Britt's workshops as she attempted to explain the process she went through writing the novel. Also when she returns home we see her struggling to come up with another book and watching her go through all her thought processes was fascinating. It did make me wonder whether Sheila O'Flanagan might have been describing herself at times particularly as both authors were writing the same book.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag. We also have a review of [[The Crystal Run by Sheila O'Flanagan]].
As I was reading ''The Perfect Man'', I was reminded of a couple of books that I have read and reviewed recently. The theme of writing and writer's workshops is something that comes through very strongly in [[Love Letters by Katie Fforde]]. [[The Prodigal Sister by Laura Elliott]] tells of three sisters travelling together through New Zealand and getting to know each other much better as they go. I am sure that if you like the sound of The Perfect Man, you will enjoy these books as well.
