Mac and Anna appear to have the perfect marriage, but their relationship is cracking under the strain of infertility. Anna cannot let go of the increasingly elusive dream of having a child, but Mac doesn't know how much longer he can cope with her pain and disappointment.

Georgie and her sister-in-law Louise have made The Reading Rooms bookshop a successful business, but Georgie has not been so successful in her love life. Her brother Nick wonders if she's waiting for the impossible - the perfect man.

And then Liam walks into The Reading Rooms and Georgie finds herself at a turning point. As do Mac and Anna, when finally the hurt and frustration sets Mac on a path that will have unforeseen conqequences for them all.

Dianne Blacklock, author of Call Waiting and Wife for Hire, expertly crafts a novel of interweaving characters which asks that crucial relationship question: if there is no such thing as 'perfect' how do you know when to settle for Almost Perfect?
