"Match Point" by Erynn Mangum

About this book:

  “Lauren Holbrook, matchmaker extraordinaire, takes credit for four successful couples now. With her dad happily married and life settling down around her, Lauren feels quite content. That is, until the tables are turned and she’s on the receiving end of the matchmaking!
  Lauren and her boyfriend, Ryan, devise a plan to make it look as if they’ve broken up so people will get off their backs about marriage. No problem, right? That’s of course until Lauren realizes she’s in love.”

My personal Rating-

I think I enjoyed this book a little more than the second, but not quite as much as the first during this little rereading spree of this lovely series. Laurie truthfully is a hilarious character and I just love how she thinks through different things. I’m so excited to finally read the rest of this series now! :)

See y’all on Friday with a new review!
