Mary Burns has spent twenty years successfully burying her teenage obsession with Jack Thompson, the high school heartthrob who once defined her every waking moment. Now a polished real estate professional with a stable life and a sensible 401k, Mary is ready to put her past behind her—until a high school reunion brings Jack back into her orbit. The nostalgia is short-lived when Jack sets his sights on Mary’s best friend. Desperate to intervene and protect her friend from what she deems a disastrous romance, Mary finds herself forced into an unlikely and begrudging alliance with Gary Wright. Once the quintessential nerd and chess club captain, Gary has evolved into the man Mary considers her absolute nightmare. *Perfect Mess* is a hilarious enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy that explores the chaos of rekindled high school dynamics. As Mary and Gary navigate their reluctant partnership to sabotage the budding relationship between their friends, they discover that life rarely follows a script. In this laugh-out-loud love triangle, Mary learns the hard way that no matter how much you try to outwit your history, true love has a messy, unpredictable way of finding you when you least expect it.
