Summary:
Olivia Rossi heads to Paris for a summer getaway in search of healing after a personal tragedy. Struggling with grief and writer's block, she finds herself drawn to James, a mysterious stranger. The two agree to keep their affair purely physical, knowing only each other's first names, but their connection quickly deepens into something far more intense. As Olivia's passion for James grows, she begins to question whether her new lover is truly who he seems.
Perfect Strangers is a deeply emotional tale, blending literary fiction with elements of suspense. Note, this book strays from the traditional romance formula and does not promise a typical happy ending, making it a gripping, unpredictable read.

This is one of those rare books where you can't say much without giving away the magic. Trust me when I say that you need to go into this one completely unspoiled—because the twists and turns will absolutely blow your mind. Prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of emotions: heartbreak, shock, intense angst, and cliffhangers that will leave you breathless. This story will confuse, surprise, and captivate you in ways you didn't see coming. It's a reading experience that demands to be felt, not just read.
“People make the mistake of thinking that experiencing an emotion means you have to do something about it. In fact, you don’t have to do anything with your emotions at all. You can simply acknowledge them as they arrive – oh, look, that old bitch Envy is back again – then go about your business.
It’s the clinging to emotion that causes suffering … A wiser choice is to let it go and breathe.”

What on earth did I just read? My mind is completely blown. The first half of this book was different from anything I've encountered before—beautifully written, gripping, and utterly absorbing. I was hooked from the start, but then, out of nowhere, the rug was pulled out from under me. This isn't the first time a J.T. Geissinger book has left me in complete shock, and I mean it when I say you cannot predict the ending. My advice? Go in blind. The beauty of this book lies in its unpredictability. You might not be happy by the end, but that's what makes it a 5-star read for me. The emotional highs and lows, the countless twists—I was left stunned, and I loved every minute of it. There's nothing better than an unpredictable masterpiece.
“Just feel me. Just feel me and breathe.”

Any book that can shock you to this extent deserves recognition. My mind was blown—this is a story that challenges expectations and delivers something entirely unique. If you're up for a read that will leave you speechless, then dive into this one. Just be prepared for a journey that defies the norm.
“Meeting you is a gift, and it will always be a gift, no matter how long we have together. So what I promised still stands: I’m yours until September. If you still want me.”
