Never A Perfect Moment

First Love, Big Decisions

In Never A Perfect Moment, Cathy Cole delivers a heartfelt teen romance that captures the intensity of first love and the messy, emotional choices that come with growing up. At the heart of the story is Scarlett, a thoughtful and ambitious teenager whose world is turned upside down when she falls for Jack—a boy with a troubled past and a guarded heart.

When Timing Isn’t on Your Side

Scarlett knows she should focus on school, her future, and the expectations everyone else has for her. But being around Jack makes everything else fade. As their relationship deepens, so do the complications—Jack’s family issues, Scarlett’s fear of losing control, and the constant question: can love really conquer everything, or is timing everything?

A Realistic, Emotional Teen Romance

Written with honesty and warmth, Never A Perfect Moment explores love, loyalty, and the emotional tug-of-war between what you want and what’s best. It’s a story about the moments we wish we could freeze—and the ones that change us forever.
