matchmaking!
Miss Match is quite hilarious. I like a good story about romantic mischief and coffee… and chocolate… a definite winner in my books! lol Miss Match is a bit of a coming of age as you watch Laren mature from a goofy girl to a little more mature goofy girl – realizing that when love happens it happens, even to her! As a Christian girl the attitude and the vocabulary was very much like I remember lol. She was easy to relate to and loveable. Quotes of famous books are thrown in there, like the Princess Bride had me rolling not to mention some Pride and Prejudice… and worst part about it is that I remember doing that with the “English accent” as well.

Miss Match
It's always refreshing to read a chick-lit after having not read one in a while. Here's the plot line of Miss Match...
Laurie Holbrock has a new desire in life, and that is to set every single person she knows up on a date with their future spouse. It seems to work out pretty well since they always end up getting married. When the pace isn't being met for Nick and Ruby, Laurie decides that it's time to get a little more involved and plots and ploys to get them together, and manages to some how possibly be in a relationship herself or maybe it's just part of the stage she has set. Who can be certain?
Here's what I like about the book: funny, random, odd humor and an easy and enjoyable read. Some of the one liners would actually make me laugh out loud but other times I would think I would slap Laurie across the face and tell her she is annoying.
Here's what I didn't like about the book: It is a christian chick-lit. There is nothing wrong with that but it bothered me when the characters would make references to scripture and not back it up. I wasn't carrying around my bible with me so I could make references every time a scripture was mentioned, so I didn't always understand the point that was trying to be made. Not all of us have the bible memorized and it really annoyed me by the time I finished reading the book.
Also, the characters are singles in their 20's and 30's, yet you would think they were in junior high. I daydreamed of similar plot ideas when I was 16.
That's about all that I didn't like about the book, it really was a fun read. I give it four stars. Now, I must go eat and drink something sweet, since I read about it every line.

My Favorite Book Everrrrrrrr
The Lauren Holbrook Series is my absolute favorite series ever. Its a very easy read that flows nicely. I love the characters, and I love how I can relate to what God is teaching Laurie in the stories.
