Perfecting Kate by Tamera Leigh

Tamera Leigh’s Perfecting Kate is a quirky, romance novel about a vain and imperfect artist who has given up on men – again, when not one but two come into her life.

Enter Michael, a makeup artist who professes to be Christian. While he compliments her often, he regularly points out he flaws and refers her to professionals who can “fix” her. But he isn’t interested in the one thing she can never give him.

Then there’s Clive, a widowed doctor who likes her just the way she is, but who has abandoned his faith and does want the one thing she can never give him.

While she struggles with her faith, her appearance, and her relationships, she keeps a prayer journal. Her honest commentary on her struggles and shortcomings is refreshing and chronicles her journey towards God’s best for her. This prayer journal shows that Kate is anything but perfect, and in my opinion, gives this book an edge over other Christian chick-lit.

Witty and cleverly written, Perfecting Kate is an easy and enjoyable read. It includes some subtle references to things not often seen in Christian books, due to their controversial nature. However, it is done in a way that shows both the flawed nature of human beings and the redemptive power of God.

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
