Picture Imperfect

Author: Alyssa Roat/Hope Bolinger
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Series: Roseville Romances #1
Release Date: November 5, 2021

Can a struggling career woman and a procrastinating artist save a beloved non-profit?

Aspiring novelist Caroline Penn expected a promotion, not a picture book assignment. But when her employer, the non-profit Helping Hope, runs into financial trouble, this book might be the solution. With the company struggling to stay afloat, she and the illustrator will need to collaborate on a strict deadline—no problem for a workaholic like Caroline, right?

Andy Jackson, a “starving” artist, pays the bills by taking on graphic design gigs, but his perfectionism gets in the way. If only he could focus on a project for once, perhaps he could achieve his dream to make art for children for a living.

When the two are thrust together to create a book, Caroline can’t seem to write for children, and Andy can’t meet a deadline to save his life. As time ticks down to release day, the two must face their pasts and insecurities. If they can avoid strangling one another for long enough, they may just bring to the table what the other is missing.

If not, the fate of their careers—and a beloved non-profit—hangs in the balance.

Alyssa Roat and Hope Bolinger have teamed up to write a great book called Picture Imperfect. A romantic comedy about perfectionism that shows when you trust God, anything is possible. The book was fun to read, drew you in and didn't let go easily. For me especially since I really enjoyed reading about a writer.  

Caroline Penn is shocked when she learns that the nonprofit where she works has major financial problems. The only thing that could save Helping Hope is the book she is writing. But for that, she needs an illustrator.  Andy Jackson, a perfectionist illustrator, is very happy when he is commissioned to illustrate a children's book. He is struggling to pay his bills and this assignment could change everything.

The persons were described in such a way that by the end it seemed just as if they had become friends of yours. The faith portion is also well described. If you like a clean, cute romantic comedy, then this is really a book for you.
