The exquisitely composed collection of sixty-five poems "Love is a Jigsaw Puzzle" by Penelope Chaisson delves into the intricacies of love and relationships. With its four sections—Sweet, Sour, First Sight, and First Bite—the book simply and rawly depicts the highs and lows of falling in and out of love. I'll put it on my reading list!

'Official Review: Love is a Jigsaw Puzzle' by Penelope Chaisson has a good introduction. It delivers valuable information about the author. The book's central idea is that love is not always straightforward but complicated like a puzzle. Readers would appreciate how each poem was real and moving. The author imparts the message of resilience in the face of adversity and courage to take calculated risks. It was great that the sketches interspersed throughout the book gave it more life and made it easier to relate to the poems!

Thank you for your wonderful review. I could feel a lot of emotions coming off of the pages. I usually do not care for poetry due to not understanding it. I believe I did understand what I read, but this isn't the time for me to read this book. I hope many others will enjoy it though.

The author, Penelope, is certainly an inspiring woman. Most women lose themselves after being mothers, but the author was able to build herself as an athlete career-wise and even discover more passions about herself. I would love to see what great poems she has in this book.

Thank you for your review. It was enjoyable and easy to follow. When you said you "appreciated how each poem was so real and moving. They were thought-provoking and incredibly reassuring." convinced me to take a look at this book. What a unique way to write about love, all its ups and downs. I am putting this book on my to-read list.

Penelope Chaisson's ability to juggle her roles as a nurse, mother, and athlete while still publishing two books in under two years is truly impressive.

Her book sections named Sweet, Sour, First Sight, and First Bite are very interesting, though I have an idea of what these are all about. I love reading poems because of their beauty and complexity so this is right up my alley.
