Curl up on a comfy couch, with a refreshing drink in hand, and be ready to share a few laughs with Erynn Mangum’s MissMatch.

MissMatch is the first of Mangum’s Lauren Holbrook novel series. At 23, loving her job as a photographer and living with her widowed father, Lauren is perfectly content being single. Emboldened with the success of introducing her sister to the man who would become her new husband, Lauren puts her energies into matchmaking her friends. She recruits Hannah, the new receptionist at work to be her accomplice. Lauren’s best friend Brandon and even her single pastor Nick are not safe from Lauren’s schemes. As Lauren manipulates the situations to make her friends fall in love with each other, unexpected complications results. Lauren learns lessons about the sovereignty of God and is challenged to rethink about her own life as a single.

The wit and charm of the characters in MissMatch are endearing and you’ll be drawn you to them. With strong family and spiritual values portrayed appropriately, I would not hesitate recommending it to teenagers. The book is light-hearted and wholesome. With the story moving along quickly, you will be kept glued to its pages. I am looking forward to reading another in the Lauren Holbrook series.
