Latte Daze, by Erynn Mangum


Latte Daze by Erynn Mangum is the follow up to Cool Beans in her Maya Davis novels. I'd have to say I'm a big fan of Mangum's writing style and am hooked. Love is in the air in this book as both Maya and her roommate Jen are in committed relationships with their boyfriends and both taking big steps forward in each respective relationship as the book progresses. You hope that it all works out for both of them but there is a slight air of uncertainty that lingers. There are a few bumps in the road and many changes swirling around for Maya, someone who does not like change. I liked how Mangum is able to interject applicable scripture versus throughout whether it was through Maya's devotions, church or Bible study. I've not read another Christian fiction writer who has built so much of the story around multiple scripture before and found this very refreshing. It's a great light, enjoyable read and I look forward to the next book in this series. I'm maybe even more so curious about a few of the secondary characters of this book, like Jen's Mom and how Maya's relationship and witness to them might change them in upcoming books.

I received a free copy of this book from NavPress Publishers' book review program. The opinions expressed in this review are my own and I was not required to provide a positive review.

  3. Hi Joy, she's probably best known for her Lauren Holbrook series starting with the book Miss Match, then Rematch and Match Point. If you like Christian, I believe the term is, Chick lit, then you are sure to enjoy these. They are very well written.
