“Can coffee and chocolate make everything better? It’s worth a shot.
Now that Maya Davis is engaged to
her longtime friend and sweetheart, Jack, there should be no more worrying
about the future, no more questioning God. Everything should be perfect, right?
Actually, it’s just the opposite: Things are complicated. Where are they going to

My personal Rating-
My
emotions felt a little stronger while reading this book. I definitely relate to
Maya in many ways and our feelings on change are very similar. I loved the
message of this book and while even though the ending got me teary-eyed, I really
enjoyed this book and the characters and the humor and so much more.
See y’all
on Friday with a new review!
