CHASING PERFECTION
Teenage Lily Bennett has one dream: to grow up fast. Not to escape her small town or ditch her responsibilities—but to finally be old enough to date the kind of guy she’s always fantasized about: a handsome, wealthy, perfect man who will sweep her off her feet, love her deeply, and give her the glamorous life she’s always imagined.
But there’s a problem—she doesn't know where to find him. Her world is small, her connections are limited, and the people around her have no idea what she’s dreaming of. She’s stuck in a high school reality where everyone’s chasing after the same things—and none of them are the things she truly wants.
Desperate to break free from her ordinary life, Lily begins crafting a plan to meet the kind of people she thinks can give her the perfect future. But as she steps into a world far beyond her reach, she quickly learns that the dream isn’t as flawless as it seems. The more she chases perfection, the more she realizes that love, self-worth, and happiness aren’t found in the fantasy she’s built in her mind.
Will Lily find the love she’s always longed for? Or will she discover that the life she’s dreamed of isn’t what she truly needs?
Chasing Perfection is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about longing, self-discovery, and realizing that sometimes, the perfect life is the one you least expect.
