She reads every message. Stays completely calm.
And realizes, with more relief than heartbreak, that she stopped loving him a long time ago.
The problem? She needs him to actually cheat — fully, on the record, in front of witnesses — before she can walk away clean. So Vivian does what any logical woman would do: she engineers her own perfect exit, one perfectly staged confrontation at a time.
Sharp, funny, and surprisingly tender, *The Perfectly Bad Girlfriend* is a story about falling out of love gracefully, falling in love accidentally, and the quietly radical act of choosing yourself — even when it means admitting you're not exactly the hero of your own story.
*Sometimes the person who needs to be caught isn't the cheater.*
