Publisher's Summary:
Not so long ago, Lizzie Glass had a successful TV show, a cookbook deal, and a social diary crammed with parties and events. But fame doesn't stay fresh for long. Her show fizzles, her magazine column is canceled, and Lizzie's only option is a summer job as personal chef to the Silvesters, a wealthy and eccentric family.
Their beach house is a lavish, beautifully decorated palace on the Jersey Shore, and Lizzie gets to work catering to Kathryn and Jim Silvester's fashionably restrictive diets. But it's their 20-something daughter who presents Lizzie with her biggest challenge - professionally and personally. A self-proclaimed "wellness warrior", Zoe Silvester has a hugely popular website and app that promotes healthy living and organic, unprocessed foods. Yet Lizzie soon realizes that the Clean Life site has a dirty little secret. In fact, Zoe's entire online persona is based on a dangerous hoax that runs deep and will damage lives. Exposing Zoe won't just jeopardize Lizzie's job and a promising new relationship - it may expose the cracks in her own past.
Sharply observed, witty, and thoughtful, Paige Roberts' debut novel is a compelling look at one woman's journey toward reinventing herself - and seeing through the facade of others - to discover the imperfect but sometimes wonderful truth.

A fun read
Paige Roberts' debut novel, Virtually Perfect, is a fast, easy, and thoroughly enjoyable read! The characters are interesting and relatable and the overlying themes timely and relevant. It ranks up with my other favorite food based women's fiction writers, Dana Bate and Stacey Ballis.
I really enjoyed it, and I am not usually one for ...
I devoured this novel in three short evenings' worth of reading: the plot and characters were well conceived and the writing style made for a very compelling, diverting read. I really enjoyed it, and I am not usually one for the "chick-lit" genre. Thanks, Paige!

I read this book super fast. Was a fun read and now I want scallops.
Easy to devour!
By Melissa Amster
Iâm always up for a food-themed novel and this one caught my eye. I had heard about it several months before it published and knew that I had to devour it as soon as I had the chance. And devour it, I did!
Paige Roberts makes writing seem effortless, even when Iâm sure she put a lot of effort into it. Her words just flowed throughout the pages, making me want to read her novel non-stop. I had no idea what would happen from one chapter to the next and was in for a lot fun (and sometimes outlandish) surprises.
I liked the variety of characters in this story. It was clear whom you could trust and whom to avoid. Paige creates some truly despicable characters that make the story even more exciting because you want to know that theyâll get their just desserts. I think it would be fun for Paige to write a book about Zoe and try to make her into a likable character. I think she has some potential to change. Kathryn, on the other hand, is a piece of work!
Lizzie is truly likable throughout, but I wish she would have shared what really happened with her TV show ending. It sounded like there was more than meets the eye, from what she alluded to, but she never got into details. The story probably could have worked just as well in first person, but I enjoyed Lizzieâs perspective no matter what.
