My Review:
"Picture Perfect Love" is the newest addition to the 2nd Year of Weddings novella series and it is one of my favorites for sure!  I read this book in one sitting and I loved it.  Right away I loved and connected with Jenna.  The novella begins with Jenna prepping for an engagement photo shoot and in the very first chapter the reader learns how Jenna handles work-related stress, how she interacts with others and also how she handled being left at the altar. Jenna has compassion toward others, is realistic, yet is able to see beauty in things and handles stress and pressure fabulously without letting others see.  This is also a beautiful story of second chances and waiting on God's time and plan.  One line that stood out to me was a thought that Jenna had as she was trusting that God would indeed bring a man into her life, and not just any man, but "one who believed in her and loved her unconditionally."  This is a perfect love, a happily ever after love that we can all hope for.  I highly recommend this book and this series.
