The Perfect Find

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!

The Unperfect Find

This was a disappointment especially knowing how much I love Seven Days In June. I’ve 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 Jenna’s name. But 2 pages later Eric is introducing them when it’s 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. I’m not into office and bedroom romance. I feel like because of Jenna’s previous relationship she would’ve fell for anyone that showed interest and that didn’t repulse her. There were so many times when Eric spoke that showed how young & immature he actually was so I’m not sure what she was so hung up about. They were more trauma bonded than anything else.

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!
