<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From the author of "The Hazards of Good Breeding" comes a uniquely modern chronicle of conception in the age of infinite possibility.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"In this smart and engaging follow-up to her well-received debut, <em>The Hazards of Good Breedin</em>g, Shattuck focuses on three privileged Gen X college roommates who are now grown up, coupled up, and raising kids in pre-recession Boston. The cracks in their 'perfect lives' begin to show when the most precocious of the trio, a gorgeous striver named Jenny whose husband is infertile, makes the unconventional decision to have a baby with a sperm donation from Neil, her brainy, slacker ex-boyfriend from Harvard. . . . Stylish storytelling and sharp social commentary . . . make <em>Perfect Life</em> both topical and eminently readable."--<em>People</em><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Advance praise for Perfect Life "Perfect Life is a vivid, fascinating snapshot of the way some of us live now. Jessica Shattuck's engrossing, deceptively ambitious novel explores a wide range of subjects-from the logistics of adultery and the complexities of friendship to the nuts and bolts of video game design and pharmaceutical marketing-with a shrewd and sympathetic eye."-Tom Perrotta, author of The Abstinence Teacher "In graceful, lambent prose, Jessica Shattuck explores modern life, with all its moral ambiguity and complicated compromises, never judging, always illuminating. A beautiful book."-Janice Y. K. Lee, author of The Piano Teacher "Jessica Shattuck writes warmly and wryly of family, friendship, nature versus nurture, and the quest for the perfect life. This novel is smart, funny, and life-affirming in all its permutations."-Binnie Kirshenbaum, author of The Scenic Route<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A social commentary on rampant capitalism, unbridled science, love and fidelity.-- "San Diego Union-Tribune"<br><br>An excellent, resonant novel.-- "Booklist"<br><br>With her elegant prose, Shattuck manages to make her characters' stories feel both engrossing and utterly real.-- "Entertainment Weekly"<br>
