About this book:
“With two matches under her belt, Lauren’s ready to get back to work. Lucky for her, her job at The Brandon Knox Photography Studio makes it even easier to work her magic on her best friend and boss, Brandon, and the adorable receptionist, Hannah. And since she’s at Shawn’s café every day anyway (a girl’s gotta feed her caffeine and chocolate addictions, doesn’t she?), why not look for his perfect match as well?
But with all her love-connection luck, Lauren’s thrown for a loop when her dad announces that he’s heading out of town for a singles’ retreat. And in the midst of panicking about her dad and potential future stepmom, there's also the matter of Ryan: Love interest or friend? Only time, vats of coffee, and pounds of chocolate will tell!”

This book was soooo cute! I am officially obsessed with Erynn Mangum, and her books. And I’ve only read three! 😁
Sad to say, I saw a lot of errors in this book. A lot of the
sentences would be typed going a line down, even if they were in the middle of a sentence. Lots of spaces, that go down a line in the page. And some of the characters would say stuff on the same line and I would get confused as to who was saying what. I caught on eventually!
I really did like this book - and maybe those errors were just in my copy. Anyways, obsessed and I’m so excited to read the next one. 👏

Review reposted from my blog at http://www.forwardsandbookwords.wordp...
**3.5 stars**
Synopsis:
YOU KNOW, LIKE THOSE CHEESY MUSICALS. GUY AND GIRL START TO EXHIBIT THE UNIVERSAL SIGNS FOR ATTRACTION, AND BEFORE ANY SHY “HEY, WANT TO GO OUT WITH ME?” CAN BE ESTABLISHED, THEY BURST INTO SONG AND SPILL THEIR GUTS RIGHT IN FRONT OF EACH OTHER.
Lauren Holbrook is back, and despite her friends pleading requests, her matchmaking days are far from over. She knows that two of her co-workers, Brandon and Hannah, are destined to be together, and she’ll do anything to help them reach the altar. Not to mention the fact that Shawn – the coffee guy – is totally falling for her friend Hallie.
Despite her confidence when it comes to love, Lauren is thrown completely off-guard when her long-time single, awkward, and hypochondriac dad announces that he’s going on a singles’ retreat to meet new people. What will happen if her dad finds love again? Will Lauren ever find love for herself?
Pros and Cons:
All of the wonderful qualities that made the first book so great return with a vengeance in this novel. The same quirky narration that Lauren always brings is present, along with her crazy exploits and coffee addictions. And – like the last novel – despite it being a Christian book, that’s easy to forget sometimes. Christianity isn’t being shoved down your throat every other page and it has a good storyline outside of scenes that take place in church. While the Bible is often quoted, so are classics stories like Pride and Prejudice, Anne of Green Gables, and many others. This is less of a hardcore Christian book than it is a book with hardcore Christian characters.
I did, however, have more issues with this book than I did with the last one. I think the problem I had is that these issues were in the last book, too, but they didn’t bother me because they didn’t last as long. Now I’ve experienced them for two books and it’s starting to get on my nerves a little bit.
First of all, the narrator of the story, Lauren, is said to be in her early twenties. The issue is, her thoughts, dialogue, and actions make her seem like a fourteen year old girl. There’s nothing wrong with being a fourteen year old girl, but it does get a little tiring when that teenager is actually supposed to be an adult interacting with other adults. My second issue is the descriptions at some parts. I think Erynn Mangum does a good job of describing emotions, but sometimes she gets a little extreme. It felt so unrealistic to have characters described as having “tears streaming down their face” and “falling to the floor/rolling around” every time something even slightly funny happened. That rarely happens in real life, and it happened at least five times throughout this book. Lastly, there were some phrases in this book that were repeated over and over again, or changed only slightly. If I removed a book from my TBR pile every time one of these phrases was said…
I stuck out my tongue
I’m going to take that as a compliment
Here’s what I do/think/want/some other variation:
…I would be out of books halfway through. And that’s saying a lot.
Final Thoughts:
All of those things considered, it was really hard for me to rate this book. I know it sounds like I have a lot of issues with it – and I kind of do – but there was never a second that I was reading it where I wasn’t enjoying it. Contemporaries like this aren’t usually too intense, so I don’t expect to be completely blown away after reading it. This book has its flaws, it’s not quite as good as the first one, but I would still recommend it and I’m holding out hope for the conclusion to the series.

AHHHH!!! This is an amazing book... like the rest of them :) any girl that's any girl should read these books. They've really helped me grow in faith.

This book was fun, but I am so disappointed that Lauren and Brandon don't get together. How could the author set this up so much like Emma and than ditch Mr. Knightly?

September 6, 2018
I have read quite a few Erynn Mangum books at this point, and Laurie is definitely my least favorite character. She’s nosy, pushy, bossy, unprofessional, overly dramatic, and extremely immature. Usually, I love Erynn’s characters, but it’s just plain hard to like Laurie.
When she’s not behaving like a bratty 12 year old, she’s stuffing her face with sweets and drinking coffee. She never cooks - ever. She seems to eat out for every meal - breakfast, lunch and dinner, and often eats brownies for breakfast. Reading about everything she was eating, snacking on, or dreaming about eating got to be a bit much. She’s 23 but doesn’t cook or clean or basically take care of herself in any way, so she seems much younger than her age.
She’s also really annoying with the matchmaking. The moment she meets someone new, she starts thinking about who she could match that person up with, only to later lament her plight of being single when she finally notices that all her friends are dating or married. Even random strangers are not safe from Laurie. She will set anyone up. Rather than being sweet and charming, she just comes off as pushy and annoying. I don’t know how her friends (or the said random strangers) can stand her.
I’m going to finish the series, because I love Erynn Mangum, and because I dare to dream that Laurie will eventually mature.
Also - why is she so oblivious about the love interest? She’s so nosy with everyone else, but hates it when anyone asks about her personal life.
Argh, rant over.

Rematch essentially picks up where Miss Match leaves off. This series needs to be read in the order they are written, otherwise you will have spoilers.
Lauren is at it again! She is looking around the single's Bible Study looking for friends to match up. It wouldn't be so bad, but she is actually good at it! Her friends need to look out or they will be changing their single's status, LOL!!
Also, what is up with her dad deciding to go to a single's retreat?! Will Lauren be able to handle it if he actually finds someone?
I adored this book. It has just as much humor, witty dialogue, coffee, and chocolate as the first book! Lauren and Ryan have a solid friendship? Or are they dating? I love that Ryan takes such good care of Lauren and doesn't push her for more. I love the family dynamics and was excited to dive right into book three upon completing this one.

Rematch, the second novel in the Lauren Holbrook series, is just as full of coffee and chocolate as book one. Yum!
Lauren Holbrook is at it again. Laurie’s matchmaking track record keeps increasing; she’s got two couples married so far. Now she’s up for a challenge, trying to set up her two best friends. Brandon, her boss and best-friend-since-fourth-grade, and Hannah, the new Christian who’s gorgeous both inside and out, are the perfect couple and Laurie knows it. But how is she to set them up subtly, without their knowledge? Then there’s Shawn, the owner of Laurie’s favorite coffee and desert store, and Hallie, the new girl at the singles’ Bible study. So many matches, so little time!
As if there weren’t enough love in the air, Laurie’s dad, a widower, announces he’s going to a singles’ retreat. Laurie doesn’t know what to think. Is she ready to see her hypochondriac father return to the dating scene?
And what about Ryan, Laurie’s sort-of boyfriend? Laurie started off pretend-dating him to get people off her back, but now the relationship is becoming more real. What’s with the weird feeling in her stomach every time he’s around? Are they really “just friends” or is there something more?
With even more chick-flicks (Anne of Green Gables, plus more Pride and Prejudice and The Princess Bride) in book two, it’s hard not to love keeping up with fast-talking Laurie and her crazy schemes.
If you read and enjoyed book one (Miss Match), you’ve got to read this one!

The Lauren Holbrook novels are laugh-out-loud funny, but I have to admit, Laurie is very immature and kind of psychotic. The psycho part I don't mind(I can see how 60 cups of coffee a day could do that to a person), but her immaturity sometimes gets on my nerves. I don't think I could handle having a friend like her in real life! Lol. That being said, I love Ryan! Though I get kinda sad about Brandon sometimes...just me? *sigh* I'm looking forward to book 3! I hope a new restaurant is introduced. It's like all the characters consume is Italian, sandwiches, desserts, and coffee. They need some tacos or Chinese or something.

I’m dying. I loved this book!!!!! I was a bit confused in the first one, thinking it was a real Emma retelling, but now that I’ve figured out it’s just Emma inspired, I’m in love! Excuse me while I go buy book 3…
January 4, 2009
This is a worthy sequel to the first book, Miss Match. I can't wait to read the third book, Match Point!

⭐⭐ 3.5 ⭐⭐
Wavering here because it was definitely better than the first. I vaguely remember bits of this (Meet a/your Match In Michigan specifically) so Im thinking I read at least part of this before. Laurie has toned down from the first book which is good in my opinion!! Still a bit abrasive (and honestly Im kind of glad I dont have a friend quite like her!! She would be a whirlwind). Parts of it bugged me, mainly how pushy at times the religious talk is. That's just not personally my style. Not that I dont like religious tones but the way it was sometimes portrayed in this was a little cringey. Also, as a genetic scientist and a Christian I was sad to see my field beaten down for a few chapters. It just reminded me that there's still a disconnect between religion and science that I dont believe should exist! In my life it works perfectly together

Still hilarious. We are losing the EMMA-ness though. It’s okay and not enough to knock a star.
Man, people are pairing off fast!!! I’m starting to lose track of the couples. There are also a lot of smilies names.
I liked how Laurie got to see that change can be good and how she’s come around to Hannah and Joan after initially not liking or thinking she wouldn’t like them. It’s a good character trait.
I disagree with the theology of God making someone for you but again, not enough to knock a star.
I’m thoroughly enjoying Lauren Holbrook’s world 😊

This one is so cute! I've read the first book in the series a million times, but it had been a while since I read this one. Somehow I owned the first and the third, both not this one? So I finally got around to buying it and just re-read it. It's not as good as the first one, but it still has all of Laurie's jokes and charm, and her antics as she plays matchmaker.
January 8, 2024
OH MY GOSHHH I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! I was reading in a coffee shop one day and grinning so big I probably looked crazy !!! Anyways, I ADORE Ryan!! What I would give 😭 the only thing is that Laurie and Ryan MAJORLY need to have a DTR… starting the 3rd one today!!!
March 14, 2018
This was my second series by Ms. Mangum and I enjoyed it just as much! I love the way her characters are so funny, quirky, and addicted to coffee and chocolate! The main character Lauren has quite the original personality and is obsessed with matchmaking. She is beloved even though she drives everyone around her crazy. She is great at making everyone else's match, but is hopeless at recognizing her own. Woven through each story are scriptures of encouragement and faith. Great, sweet read!

Another corny, goofy, delicious blast from the past. Mangum does it again!
