Perfect

(Completed, Watty's 2018 Longlist)
Jordan Knight and Lia Andrews are from two different worlds. He's an embattled pop star from the beloved boyband, New Kids on the Block. She's a no-nonsense pre-law student from a struggling working class family. He's a dreamer that's looking for happiness and love in all the wrong places. She's a realist who believes men are only trouble. Both have an obsession with perfection that has left them disillusioned and broken. After an encounter that leaves their lives permanently intertwined, Jordan and Lia are forced to realize that they are more perfect and more broken than they ever could have imagined.

"There is no perfection, only beautiful versions of brokenness."
