The Perfect Find
Soon to be a Netflix movie starring Gabrielle Union! Will a forty-year-old woman with everything on the line - her high-stakes career, ticking biological clock, bank account - risk it all for a secret romance with the one person who could destroy her comeback, for good?
Jenna Jones, former It-girl fashion editor, is forty, broke and desperate for a second chance. When she's dumped by her longtime fiancé and fired from Darling magazine, she begs for a job from her arch nemesis, Darcy Vale. Darcy, the beyond-bitchy publisher of StyleZine.com, agrees to hire her rival - only because her fashion site needs a jolt from Jenna's old school cred. But Jenna soon realizes she's in over her head.
Jenna's working with digital-savvy millennials half her age, has never even "Twittered," and pretends to still be a Fashion Somebody while living a style lie (she sold her designer wardrobe to afford her sketched-out studio, and now quietly wears Walmart's finest). What's worse is that the twenty-two-year-old videographer assigned to shoot her web series is driving her crazy. Wildly sexy with a smile Jenna feels in her thighs, Eric Combs is way off-limits - but almost too delicious to resist.

This was a disappointment especially knowing how much I love Seven Days In June. Iâve read that book multiple times and fell in love each time but cannot say the same about The Perfect Find.
First off there were too many inconsistencies that made me want to quit reading. First is the introduction to Suki who in a crowded room called out Jennaâs name. But 2 pages later Eric is introducing them when itâs obvious they already know each other. Another is the scene with May & Eric. It was explicitly stated that Jenna & Eric came to the party separately. However May tells Eric she saw them come in together. There were many others but these are the most blatant.
Another gripe is the names of characters. Everyone had a name 5 letters or less. If it was more than 5 letters they sounded similar in some way. I got confused because there was no distinction between names/characters.
Lastly this big romance between Jenna and Eric fell short for me. Iâm not into office and bedroom romance. I feel like because of Jennaâs previous relationship she wouldâve fell for anyone that showed interest and that didnât repulse her. There were so many times when Eric spoke that showed how young & immature he actually was so Iâm not sure what she was so hung up about. They were more trauma bonded than anything else.
