Miscommunications, misunderstandings, and a lot of missed opportunities... Austin and Jenny align on everything, but never seem to be able to line up for anything. When it's Not Perfect is a romantic novella all about missed opportunities. Follow Jenny and Austin as they navigate life's ups and downs. Austin lost a leg while taking enemy fire and Cory carried him to safety. So when Cory's folks are killed in a car accident that almost kills his kid sister, too, Austin is who he calls when he can't get home quickly from active duty. Reeling from losing her 'normal' life, Jenny is still in rehab relearning to walk at seventeen after moving into her brother's apartment on base. Austin agrees to stay and help - but whether he's helping Cory or Jenny isn't something that he can get a straight answer for... and Jenny is definitely growing up. The timing for everything is bad, and doesn't seem to get better when they're both adults, but this is just life When it's Not Perfect.
