love mangum's humor ( )

This was not a book club book. It was sweet and a good book for Christians to read.
More for young adult. ( )

I wasn't expecting to like this book that much, but it was actually super cute. I'm not sure I'll read more Christian fiction in the future, but I'm looking forward to finishing this series. ( )

This book is such a gem. Part of what made Maya so endearing was how free of drama she was. She didn't obsess over getting engaged/married, and this left so much room to focus on the important things in her life at that time.
Another thing that made her a relatable character was her sense of humor. Witty banter is a trademark of Erynn Mangum's books, and while Maya is adept in sarcasm, she didn't use it as a weapon, something I appreciated so much.
There was an instance when Maya, in response to a situation she found herself in, mentally responded with 'Not funny, God,' which is very disrespectful. It's something one would say to a peer, not a King.
The first person narrative allowed Maya to self-deprecatingly share about her life, work, and challenges, without info dumps breaking the flow of the narrative. Maya is such a sweet character, and while I'm not really a coffee-drinker, I love that we both have running in common. Maybe one day I'll be looking back and wondering how I ever got by without coffee, but until then Dr. Pepper and I will be very happy. ( )
