About the book:
Just as life is beginning to come together for spunky, purple-haired Mayla Strong, she loses her job and her boyfriend. When she escapes to sunny Florida, her problems only tag along. In this heartwarming sequel to Just As I Am, Mayla learns how to balance friends, family, and faith while living in a messed-up world.
My thoughts:
I've read the first three chapters and as usual the author has pulled me in. Virginia Smith does a better job at that than most authors, btw. Also, this book is in first person POV but it is so well done that it's not at all obvious. I love Mayla. She's one of my favorite characters. This book is a keeper, folks!
oooh, looks really good, I know I would enjoy it!

ReplyDeleteThank you for the nice comments, Michelle. They mean all the more since they're coming from one 'edgy' writer to another!
ReplyDeleteI would really like to read one of Virginia Smith's books. I was only recently exposed to her and now I am really interested. Not to mention that I absolutely love this cover. I have no idea why, but when I look at that cover I say to myself "I want that life!"
