Book Reviews of Rematch (Lauren Holbrook Series, Book 2)
Book Review: It Is All About Coffee
Summary: 5 Stars
"It began with a scowl," and so it should, it would seem, as the coffee supply has mysteriously disappeared. Coffee, the reader will quickly discover is the life giving for Erynn Mangum's alter ego Lauren Holbrook. I have never seen the word coffee used so many times in one novel.
I approached this novel cautiously. It is a Chick Lit novel and there are many of the typical things that you expect to find in the genre. Knowing that some people enjoy the genre more than I, I took this into account as I opened the cover. As supper sizzled in a skillet on the stove I began to read, making it through three chapters by the time I sat down to eat a hamburger and Pringles.
Four hours later, I finished the book. Most of the book is dialog. Other than that, the book is written in first person present tense. Overall, the book is very believable and I even laughed at a few things. In this book, Laurie continues her quest to unite singles into couples, but she becomes concerned about the possibility of her nearly fifty-year-old father getting married. That issue is the major conflict in the book. The rest is straightforward. Laurie sees a couple that needs to be matched up and she gets them together with little to no conflict. So, in looking at how the main character is changed by the events of the story, it is an internal struggle for Laurie and her view of her relationship with her father.
There is one thing that this novel does very well. It does not go out of its way in an attempt to make it a Christian novel. Yes, there are Christian elements to it, but the reader is not left with the feeling that the author wrote a non-Christian novel and then added the Christian stuff to it.
The book isn't perfect. There were a few actions by some of the characters that seemed to be used more frequently than they should have been. I won't ruin the book for everyone by saying what they were. Other people may not be a nitpicky as I am.
I can't be too hard on this book, there were some very marked similarities between this book and my own book, Searching for Mom. Lauren and Sara have both lost a mother, though they have different opinions about this. Both are matchmakers, of sorts. Even some of the book and movie references are the same. So it I go too far with my criticism I will probably just end up criticizing myself.
