The Perfect Find
A forty-year-old woman risks her new career for a secret romance with the one person who could destroy her comeback in this "deliciously good time" of a novel (Nicola Kraus, author of The Nanny Diaries). Now a Netflix film starring Gabrielle Union.
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, the beyond-bitchy Darcy Vale, who agrees to hire her-but Jenna soon realizes she's in over her head. What's worse is that the twenty-two-year-old videographer assigned to shoot her web series is driving her crazy. Eric Combs is way off-limits-but almost too delicious to resist. Does Jenna have room for a new career, a new life, and a new man? Or will her not-so-secret infatuation bring everything crashing down around her?BUY THE BOOK

Interesting story but I think I wanted more out of the main characters! The ending also threw me for a loop because keeping a kid a secret is a little harsh lol. I do however, understand why she did.
Love, love, love this book by Tia Williams! The ending made me cry. Jenna and Eric gave me all the feels. I love that they both took a chance at love and did what worked for them. Eric helped Jenna rediscover parts of herself that she forgot about. They truly were The Perfect Find.
Seen a lot of mixed reviews on this book, I really enjoyed it. It does have a bit of a slow start, but once it's on it is ON!
“This is a story about control. My control. Control of what I say, control of what I do. And this time, I'm gonna do it my way" Janet Jackson
🌹The Perfect Find encapsulates these famous words by Janet Jackson to a tee. Jenna Jones is a forty year old fashionista, who is rebuilding and discovering herself after suffering a devastating break-up and breakdown that sent her back to her hometown. After hiding away, Jenna is ready to make her return to New York and do it on her own terms. During her journey to rebuild herself, Jenna finds love in the most unsuspecting and messiest of places.
🌹Tia Williams does a realistic job showcasing what an age gap romance between an older woman and a younger man could look like, and the drama such a gap could have on a relationship. I also enjoyed how real Jenna's journey to find herself felt as a reader. There were moments where I wanted to shake Jenna, roll my eyes at her, but most of all I was cheering for her.
🌹 This can't be an adult romance without a little spice and drama, and Williams truly delivers on both fronts! No complaints about the steamy scenes. However, I did find some of the drama in the book tedious and typical formulaic tropes of romance books; but this didn't take away from my enjoyment in reading the book.
🌹Overall, I really enjoyed this book and it's a perfect beach read for my romance girlies.

Even though this is a non-fiction book, there were so many lessons to learn through the experience of the main character. I am a sucker for non-fiction books that have a main character working in the media industry and this was the book I was looking for. Not only does it keep you on your toes, but it is sexy, refreshing, and has everything you want in a non-fiction book. The way that Tia Williams writes really puts you in the shoes of the main character. I felt like I was her! This book is perfect for the summer or a night in!
