A sweet and clever novel about the woes of (boy) history repeating itself, from the author of Mostly Good Girls.All Chelsea wants to do this summer is hang out with her best friend, hone her talents as an ice cream connoisseur, and finally get over Ezra, the boy who broke her heart. But when Chelsea shows up for her summer job at Essex Historical Colonial Village (yes, really), it turns out Ezra’s working there too. Which makes moving on and forgetting Ezra a lot more complicated…even when Chelsea starts falling for someone new. Maybe Chelsea should have known better than to think that a historical reenactment village could help her escape her past. But with Ezra all too present, and her new crush seeming all too off-limits, all Chelsea knows is that she’s got a lot to figure out about love. Because those who don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it….

"Past Perfect was a wonderful, heart warming tale of a girl just trying to move on. Chelsea was fun to read about. The last thing she wanted was to go back to work with her parents at Essex Historical Colonial Village and trouble ensues for her that could have all been avoided if only she had gotten that job at the mall.<br/><br/>What I liked most about this, was not that Chelsea had a few confrontations from her ex in this, but the 'War' that was going on between the two historical companies, right across the street from each other. I laughed at the antics each pulled to try to get the other in trouble and thought it had a really good Romeo and Juliet type story to it. Chelsea finds love, er, lust from a boy from the other side of the road. It's forbidden to even friend one of the enemy, much less want to date one. I think I enjoyed this more than I thought and all the trouble that was caused with the budding romance.<br/><br/>Charming story of a girl who wakes up and realizes that not all is what it had seemed at the time. A wonderful coming of age story."
