Friday Face Off: The Diamonds vs. Past Perfect


When I saw the cover for The Diamonds while digging through the Amazon bargain bit awhile back, I was immediately struck with how much it reminded me of the cover for a book from my wishlist, Past Perfect. Though the two covers are by no means cover twins, there are certainly some striking similarities between them.  One is a little more whimsical and cutesy, but they've definitely got a similar thing going.  So which do you like better?  Which would catch your eye on the shelves, and would you reach for either to see what they were about?
Which one did it better?

Random side note: they also sort of remind me of the cover for Freshman Year & Other Unnatural Disasters (Past Perfect especially).   And though I'm not throwing it into the face off, today is the last day you can enter to win it!



Last Week on FFO: Don't Breathe a Word (Holly Cupala) and So Pretty It Hurts (Kate White) went headshot to headshot, with the bold font of Don't Breathe a Word winning the day.

  1. Definitely Past Perfect this week - I think it's the colours, and something about the font used, too.

  5. I love the cover of Past Perfect it's just too cute, it makes you smile. The way she is trying to catch rain drops on her tongue. I mean who hasn't done that when you were younger. Lol.

  6. Probably Past Perfect, although my initial thought is The Diamonds, since I've read Past Perfect and it disappointed me.
