It amazes me that behind closed doors there can be a lot going in a family. Outside looking in readers will not believe there is anything wrong with the Reynolds in Picture Perfect by Deatri King-Bey. Anna Reynolds cannot take her husband's stubborn and inconsiderate attitude. Anna realizes that if things are going to change in her life she will have to take matters into her own hands.Jacob Reynolds loves his wife and son very dearly. Jacob's past family issues have found their way into his present and he is not able to recognize the difference. Jacob is losing a battle with himself and once he discloses to his wife the reason the Reynolds' life changes drastically.Junior Reynolds is a gifted student who has found love across the street. Junior keeps a straight face but is dealing with his family issues in the wrong way. Junior will do whatever it takes to keep his family intact even if it means breaking ties with those around him.Picture Perfect is a story about a family trying to get over their generational curses. However, while going through them they learn the true meaning of being a family. Readers will become frustrated with some of the characters' behaviors and actions, but everything happens for a reason and the ending makes the frustration worth it. I recommend this book to others.This book was provided by the author for review purposes.Teresa BeasleyAPOOO BookClub
