Hello Everyone :)
I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess.
I can pretty much title my reading year in 2022 as the "year I fell in love with Erynn Mangum's books."
While I had read one of her titles previously, I ended up literally inhaling so many of her titles last year, and honestly loving every single one.
Her books are the books that young Christian girls desperately needed on the market, and I can't possibly recommend her writing enough.
Today I'm excited to share another review of one of her fantastic titles, and I hope you'll keep reading below for today's full review.
If you'd like to check out my review of the first title in the series, you can do so using the link below:
Rematch by Lauren Holbrook:
Source: Library
Publisher: Think
Publication Date: August 23rd, 2007
Genre: Christian Fiction/Contemporary
Series: Lauren Holbrook
Synopsis:
With two matches under her belt, Lauren's ready to get back to work. Lucky for her, her job at The Brandon Knox Photography Studio makes it even easier to work her magic on her best friend and boss, Brandon, and the adorable receptionist, Hannah. And since she's at Shawn's café every day anyway (a girl's gotta feed her caffeine and chocolate addictions, doesn't she?), why not look for his perfect match as well? But with all her love-connection luck, Lauren's thrown for a loop when her dad announces that he's heading out of town for a singles' retreat. And in the midst of panicking about her dad and potential future stepmom, there's also the matter of Ryan: Love interest or friend? Only time, vats of coffee, and pounds of chocolate will tell!

My Review:
I fell instantly in love with this series from the first book, and I couldn't wait to continue on with reading the second title. I surprised myself by loving this one even more than the first, and I lost count of just how many times this book had me laughing out loud at Lauren's strange antics, and the interesting situations she always seems to find herself in.
The queen matchmaker is at it again, and this time she has two separate couples in mind to receive her God given talent of helping them realize what's right under her nose. On top of finding time to match make her friends, and keep her job at her best friend's photography studio though, life is about to throw her another curve ball: her dad has decided he's ready to date. In typical Lauren fashion, this causes immediate panic, and unimaginable scenarios, and she'll have to learn once again that God is sovereign over every detail, and that our job is to let go and let Him.
I could barely bring myself to put this one down once I picked it up, and I honestly never wanted to see it come to an end. I love absolutely everything about this series. And on top of the hilarity, hi jinks, and sweet romance, I can't express enough how much I love the genuine faith that's portrayed throughout, as Lauren's bumbling relationship with Jesus is definitely one of my favorite parts.
I also adore her and Ryan together, as I think he's one of the only people who could possibly be equipped to put up with her shenanigans.
Overall, this one was everything I was hoping for and more, and I can't wait to continue on with the rest of the series.
Final Rating: 5/5.
Definitely another new favorite, and one I will definitely be recommending.
Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)
