"Thou shalt embrace singledom and be unbelievably, inconceivably happy."
Kate Meadows is a successful artist from SF but her love life isn't so much of a success because she can't produce children....UNTIL she meet Dr.Clive Alexander ( who could be mistaken for Brad Pitt).They start dating but when Kate tells him her miserable secret he was shocked at first but later would understand her and compromise on adoption.
So what I love about this book is how Kate has a strong belief in God and she prays but always leaves the first will to her God.

I love Tamara Leigh! Her stories always grab me from the first page and never let go! I am always a little sad when I finish one of her books because I want more!! I am SO enjoying the Head over Heels series. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I started listening to Perfecting Kate, I thought it might be easy to predict what was going to happen. I was totally wrong! Tamara always adds such depth to what you might think is just a light and fun story. There’s always a point when I think, “How is she ever going to make this right?” She always comes through, and it’s always so believable! I think if her characters were real, they would stay together forever! And just maybe they are real - somewhere! 😉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also absolutely love how Tamara’s characters are Christians who make mistakes- sometimes over and over again -just like the rest of us- but they grow and change throughout the story. Their change is never too quick or unrealistic. I am really looking forward to the rest of the series! I’m going to start Faking Grace next!

This was a good read but no surprise considering who wrote it. :)

This book was so realistic it was scary. I'm not sure I've ever read a chick-flick, rom-com, contemporary Christian book that seemed so real. For that matter, I don't think I've read a book period that was this real.
It was really real.
Anyway, the heroine was, of course, relateable on so many levels (except where she kept making flippant promises and then breaking them. Why?!!). The hero was both romantic and... also realistic, somehow. All the other characters were extremely , but in a real life sort of way (noticing a pattern here?).
This book was also very emotional. Not just the laugh out loud moments and swoony bits, but also seeing what all these broken peeps have been through. Too. Real. Not to mention the heroine's relationship with God (except for the whole breaking-promise thing. How hard is it to just not make the promises to begin with?!!).
So, if you want a piece of real life escapism (how's that for an oxymoron?), read this book. And if not... well, read this book anyway.

Well, I’m totally crying
Totally crying, having just finished this incredibly poignant story. Every emotion leapt right from the pages, straight into my heart. I laughed—hard—and cried—just as hard. Sweet moments, cute ones, frustrating ones, giddy ones. So many feelings, the empathy for Kate was real even though I’ve never gone through anything like her painful walk (other than totally identifying with her spiritual life). Such a real, honest portrayal and I loved the whole thing.

I loved it!
Hilarious and sweet with a ending that made me smile softly opposed to the grins I had shown prior.

If you think a person who's 5'3" tall and weighs 134 pounds is fat and that anything less than fitted or form-hugging clothing is frumpy, then this is the book for you. Everyone else is likely to want to shake some sense into Kate (or feel bad about themselves) since she's (medically) the ideal weight and apparently wore non-baggy but comfortable, modest clothing before she started thinking it made her look ugly. One of the unique bits about this novel, though, is that rather than handling her dissatisfaction by unhealthy eating habits, Kate got into a spin of temptation to have operations to fix the perceived problems.
Kate was an unreliable narrator in that she often lied, even to herself. Her actions spoke truer than her words and thoughts. I did like her and the other characters, and they mostly came across as realistic. However, I felt it unrealistic that all but one male in this novel criticized her as being fat, for wearing glasses, etc., while only her female landlord commented negatively about her appearance. In my experience, men are generally happy with women who are comfortable with how they look whereas women are the ones constantly talking about their weight, what they wear, how they look, etc. I also couldn't understand why she called these men friends when all they did was tear her down.
Anyway. The novel was well-written: it had good pacing, good world-building, and was interesting. I'm just not the target audience. I did like that Kate was also struggling with being barren and knowing she couldn't have biological children. This made it believable that she would be willing to consider changing her appearance to keep a guy who said he didn't care about having biological children.
This was a Christian book for Christian readers, and I liked the overall issues being dealt with. However, for much of the book, Kate did have a tendency to think badly of others for not sticking to the Christian moral standard (whether they were Christian or not) when she hardly was a picture of perfection in similar areas. Like she spoke judgmentally toward one fellow for not trusting God yet she often realized she wasn't acting like she trusted God, either. This was one of the issues subtly dealt with in the novel, but if you can't stand Christian hypocrites, then this might not be the book for you.
There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this well-written, clean novel to Christians who aren't happy with their appearance. This book wasn't so much about "feeling happy with how you look" as "just who are you trying to please?"

3.5 stars
I really enjoyed the overall message of this book. Kate is successful at doing something she loves. She is well grounded and mostly happy until people keep telling her she is not skinny enough or pretty enough or well groomed enough. How hard would that be? One thing leads to another and soon Kate finds herself going out of her way to change things about herself for other people.
I think most women can relate to many of the self esteem issues that Kate has. I know I can. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to have people pointing out all my flaws all the time. Ouch. I was able to connect with Kate and empathize with her struggles.
Kate is a witty and fun character. Her humor and internal dialogues kept me interested and lightened the mood considerably when it threatened to become overbearing. Kate felt like someone I would hang out with in real life.
This is a Christian Fiction book so there is a lot of talk about God. It is the whole basis of the book. Kate is struggling to please others and loses her focus on ultimately pleasing God first. I loved how Clive always tells Kate that it isn't bad to change things you may not like about yourself as long as you are doing it for the right reasons and not just to please other people.
Overall a good book. I sure don't like the cover at all but I'm glad that I didn't judge the book based on the cover. :)

I picked up Perfecting Kate by Tamara Leigh expecting it to be pretty typical Christian chick-lit. I was not disappointed. What I didn’t expect was to become so drawn in and invested in this story.
Kate Meadows has sworn off men for the second time this year. She is determined to be undeniably, inconceivably happy in her single-dom and focus on her relationship with God. But then, within days, she meets two very interesting men. Michael Palmier, a make-up artist who gives Kate a makeover, seems to genuinely interested in her and not her perfect-model roommate. The only problem is he keeps giving her business cards for people who can help improve her appearance. And then there is Dr. Clive Alexander. He and Kate don’t see eye to eye at first but she can’t deny his good-looks and the sparks she feels whenever around him.
This was a very quick, engaging read. My only complaint is that the five-foot-three, 134 pound Kate is presented as fat throughout much of the book and her foray into self improvements gets a little bit annoying. I did like that God and Kate’s relationship (even lack thereof) are very present in this book. So often Christian fiction has one or two references about God and the author calls that good.
Overall, I give the book 4 stars and will definitely read more of Tamara Leigh’s books.

Oh dear. Not such a fan of this book. The end was definitely better than the start, but overall I didn't really like it. There was far too much of the main character's "self talk" going on. I had to keep back tracking what I had just read and ask, 'Wait, did she say that outloud? or in her head" Very confusing! There was also WAY too much Christian Lingo. It's one thing to write Christian fiction, but in my opinion, it should be done in such a way that it isn't tacky or offensive to someone outside the faith who may pick it up! I think the author may have done that so that you could see a difference and growth in the character at the end, but still...it was overkill. And Kate really couldn't have been a dumb as she was made out to be! Ugh.

If you are a shallow, immature and selfish pseudo-christian, this book is for you. The only saving grace of this TERRIBLY hypocritical and judgmental character is that she seems to tone down her psychopathy by the end of the book. But in the end, the only thing the liar of a main character is ever concerned with is herself. She lies to everyone from friends to love interests to God himself. And even when she stops (more or less), it’s hard to believe her intentions don’t simply revolve around rubbing how “saved” she thinks she is in others’ faces.
Also, any book that espouses forcing your beliefs onto others gets a failing mark from me.

It probably goes without saying, since this is a book by Tamara Leigh, but I loved this one! What a great story of learning to not only accept, but love the person God created you to be, flaws and all.
Loved Clive (again, a given, considering he's a male main character by Ms. Leigh). :) I really enjoyed their love story...and their individual stories of finding healing through coming to terms with their pasts. And the romance was great. :)
What an enjoyable, romantic, sweet, funny, Christian romance. Fans of inspirational romance will love this one!

Even though this one was a tiny bit corny at points, I gave it five stars because I was so refreshed to find a novel with positive Christian themes instead of the serial killers quoting scripture all the time per the recent fiction trend. I stumbled onto this one by accident and couldn't have been happier with the messages both overt and understated about superficiality, real love, and relying on God.

First, Tamara Leigh is simply inconceivably, unbelievably talented. Her voice, her character building, her story arc... all are done so very well. Second, Mary Sarah Aguotta brings talent equal to Leigh's to the narration of her stories. A powerful pair, these two. Last, this book--the story itself--is together charming and poignant.
All reasons I keep coming back to Leigh's stories. They're favorites. This one is no exception.

Leigh, really took her time on this. At times the story seemed to take to long to where it was getting but I really liked the insight and the concept behind Kate's journey overall. I also really enjoyed her prayer journal and am considering starting one myself. But Leigh never creates the perfect Christian heroine. She keeps them real, with their warts, doubts and temptations in tack.

Dumb! girl with self-image problems obsesses about how she's not thin enough or pretty enough or whatever enough to get a man. Supports the stupid Hollywood "you're only gorgeous if you're a size 4" mentality. She gets a makeover and finds a man. The end. I didn't read all of it because I was so bugged by the "get thin" issues.

“Operation: Perfect Faith”
‘Badly in need of a spiritual makeover’...
‘PS: With the exception of breast reduction, cosmetic surgery is out—I’ve purged my purse. Please help me remember that it’s more important how I’m seen through Your eyes than the eyes of those who focus on the external and pick at my imperfections. Help me to embrace 1 Peter 3: 3–4: “Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.” Tall order.’
Kate has to learn to trust God in everything. Fixing her looks and trying to change herself to please others hasn’t made her happy and has even ruined some relationships. Kate, unable to bear children, a little on the plump side, feels as though she will never be enough and that she will never find the right man. A man who shares her faith and would be happy to adopt children, rather than having biological children of his own. This story is well-written, realistic, and engaging. Written for Christians , I would not encourage non-believers to pick up this book as I don’t think they would relate to the story. I didn’t find it preachy but I am quite sure that this would hold no appeal to non-Christians.
I really enjoyed this book. I have read other works by the same author and would definitely read more. Recommended.

I liked this novel, but I had trouble with some of the main character's, Kate, being so receptive of what others would tell her how she needed to improve upon her physical appearance; especially, one of her "boyfriends" that from the beginning was only about making her perfect. The other issue I have is that the novel from the beginning said how fat & ugly she was but from the physical description of height and weight, she really wasn't. I have to question the author's further perpetuating the Hollywood stereotype of the perfect female.
Having said that, the voice of Kate was thoroughly enjoyable, and I really liked reading this first person narrative and always being in Kate's head. The pacing of the novel was just right, and the HEA was satisfying. The character arc of Kate was a nice journey to read, and I do like the Christian theme of this novel.
If you're not so sensitive about body image and enjoy Christian fiction novels, I do recommend this. Kate is a loveable, flawed, and enjoyable character to read about.

I loved Faking Grace and Splitting Harriett and Stealing Adda—all of these are great romance novels with faith elements and main characters that are highly relatable. But I couldn’t feel the same way about Kate in Perfecting Kate. I wanted to stop reading almost at the start when Kate reveals the unrealistic beauty standards she’s convinced herself are “perfection” and when the supporting characters—especially the ones who should know her well enough to see she struggles with insecurities about her size and appearance—make her eating and other lifestyle habits the butt of their jokes. But I powered through and kept reading. And while the internal struggle Kate has with believing in God but not trusting Him is relatable and refreshing to see addressed in a fiction novel, that alone was not enough to make me feel any sympathy for her. The pacing of Kate’s relationship with character she ends up with by the end is hard to wrap my head around too. It’s well-written, I just didn’t like it.

Tamara Leigh has an exceptional talent.
Tamara Leigh has an exceptional talent. Perfecting Kate had me chuckling at times, then later in the book tears formed in my eyes during several scenes. The characters are well depicted and seem so real. Kate, Clive, Michael, Maia and the rest of the supporting cast come right off the page. The plot was well thought out and flowed effortlessly. This is another 5 star novel from one of my favorite authors.

It's so refreshing to find Christian chick-lit. This story has a slow / iffy start, but I liked it more with each page I turned. It had layers to it and I adored the ending. Now I'll look for other books from this author. B/c it's so fun to find books that are entertaining, light AND deep at the same time, and have some good spiritual aspects to ponder.

Another contemporary tale from Tamara Leigh that had me laughing out loud to being so moved I almost got misty eyed.
This is a story that hit all the right points for me. A story that makes me think and want to grow my relationship with my Lord and an entertaining story, about a woman we can all relate to in one way or another.

Wonderfully fresh new metaphors
Another great story of life and faith but likely this story will stick with me more due to the creative new metaphors Tamara has included in her heroine's inner dialog.

I almost DNF this book. This character is a devout Christian but is the most judgmental, superficial, and self-deprecating individual ever. Truly unlikable. I was rolling my eyes as I read. I powered through and finished, and it ended up being just okay.
August 17, 2024
I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it. It had its moments and I enjoyed the almost “grumpy-sunshine” trope present between Clive and Kate, although Kate is infuriating. People are usually too self-obsessed for everything they say to be a slam. Calm down, girl.

Proved Tamara Leigh can write funny contemporary as well as awesome medieval fiction!

Such a fun story. Perfectly light but still a good message.

Admittedly, I did not like this book in the beginning. I almost gave up on it. Somewhere after the midways point, it started picking up. By the end I was enjoying the characters and the storyline.
January 24, 2021
My favorite book by Leigh so far! Relatable and funny. It had all the right elements, humor, sadness, frustration, you go on the journey with Kate!

I really liked this book!!! I have to admit skipping over a lot of the prayer journal but the story itself had me totally hooked!
