Thank you to NetGalley and the author for a review company in exchange for my honest review.
A Perfect Picture of Us is told in dual perspectives of Jess and Leo. Jess is a lifestyle blogger who has run into some recent trouble when it comes to an unhappy client, and Leo is an attorney who is representing the unhappy client. The problem? Jess and Leo used to go to Law school together and had some feelings for each other but they never acted on them. Now with both of them being older and in different parts of their lives maybe they can get to know each other properly, or maybe this case will keep them divided.
Overall I did find myself enjoying this book. Jess is a really interesting character in that she has made an empire of sorts for her self in the Chicago area. Sadly though this empire is starting to crumble due to an ex and some bad press. How she handled all of this though with her best friends and legal team behind her was really nice though. They were fully supportive of her and even though they didn't really agree with the decision she made to continue things, they also understood why she felt like she needed to. I also like Leo as a character, the way he made sure his parents were provided for was really nice to see, and he was work-obsessed but that was to be expected. As for their relationship together it seemed very drawn out and like we never really got to see them fully interact with one another. We know they had a past, but we didn't get to see the full past sadly so we just had to go on the little hints that we discovered throughout the book. I did enjoy this book and it was a nice clean romance read.
