"Cool Beans" by Erynn Mangum



 About this book:

  “Is there really such a thing as too much coffee?
  Everything seems to be going perfectly for Maya Davis: She has a great job at a coffee shop, gets along with her parents, and is happily single. That is until her best friend unknowingly starts dating Maya's high school sweetheart, her annoyingly perfect brother moves back to town, and her co-worker starts showing interest in her. What is God trying to teach her about life, love and commiserating over coffee?”

Spiritual Content- Bible reading & Many Scriptures are quoted; Prayers & talking to God; Church going & a sermon; Talks about God, Him answering & letting go; ‘H’s are capital when talking about God.

Awww! This was so cute and funny! I laughed so hard reading “Cool Beans” and I loved all the Spiritual Content! The only thing was I had to lower the ratings because of all the Minor cussing—but if that doesn’t bother you then your rating would be higher. Also, as someone who has a beagle (like the main character in this novel) I loved Calvin! “Roo!”



See y’all on Wednesday with a new review!
