I have read ALL of Erynn Mangum books, at least once (most of them 4-5 times). I loved Paige. So often in our faith we get so consumed serving our church and people in our church we lose focus on our goal. To bring glory to God. There is nothing wrong with helping others but it is also not wrong to take a night and relax a few times a week. All through the book I understood exactly where Paige was coming from. I loved being able to relate with Paige and all the characters! Loved this one, will defiantly read it again and can't wait for the next two to come out in October and April.
Erynn has done it once again! She has given birth to yet another character that speaks right to the heart of us, the readers. I read this book in one evening, because I just couldn't put it down!Paige Torn is the story of a young woman who just can't say no. Her intentions are all good, and the things she agrees to help with are all good things. The only problem is, she starts to lose herself and her real time with God in the process.I think we can all agree that we have all found ourselves in a place like this at one time or another in our lives. And what fun it is to go through it again with Paige! Wanting to reach in, grab her shoulders and tell her to take time to smell the roses! But at the same time, knowing we'd probably make the same decisions she is! :) Because it's hard not to strive to be the best Sunday School teacher, youth group assistant, secretary, daughter, friend, etc. That's just hard-wired into us! :)I cannot wait to continue the journey with Paige! I just hate that it will be 5 more months before I get to hear more of her story! "Dude!" :)(Written by Vanessa)
I've read both the Lauren Holbrook & Maya Davis series, and was excited to get my hands on the latest from an author whose work I really enjoy. It was another fun read: the characters are Christians just living out their day-to-day lives. Paige is overcommitted (to church, job, and friends) and so busy "serving the Lord" that her relationship with Him is suffering.I definitely enjoyed it, BUT I was a bit disappointed that it had so many similarities to her previous work. Young single Christian girl who loves coffee - cute, but I'd love to see the author dig a bit deeper. I actually would have enjoyed this novel even more if Paige were a newlywed, coming down off the "dream wedding" high and struggling to adapt to married life, or perhaps in a workplace where her faith is strongly challenged?That issue aside, it really is a great light read that's a perfect accompaniment to a quiet weekend (of course a few cups of caramel macchiato are mandatory).
Erynn Mangum has done it again with Paige Torn! I tried my best to make the book last as long as possible, but I wasn't very successful because I couldn't put the book down! The only downside to the book is we have to wait until October to read the next book in the series!
I thoroughly enjoy anything Erynn Mangum writes, but this may be my new favorite from her. I couldn't rip into the package fast enough when it came, and had it finished in less than two days (with four kids in the home, so that's saying something!). I know that I'm not her "typical" audience, but I think that may be why I love her books so much. I can just check out of my normal worries, and get lost in her fun characters and their intriguing lives. As the story began to wind down, I felt myself growing sadder with the turn of every page because I knew I'd have to wait until October for the next book, and October seems a VERY long way away!!!Paige was a joy to get to know. Her struggles were believable and relatable. Paige is sweet, likable, and you just can't help but root for her! I'll be waiting anxiously to see what's next for her.
Paige has a huge servant's heart. Because of this, she really has a hard time saying "no". Partly because she wants to serve, but also because she feels that if she isn't serving, she isn't following God's word. Wow. Have I been there? Yes! In fact, I'm coming off of a very busy season myself and have felt the need to step back and focus on my walk with God.Erynn has picked up on something that can actually be quite a problem for some in church ministry and, through sometimes hilarious and sometimes difficult circumstances, shows how, when we get out of balance in "working" for the Lord, our spiritual lives can begin to suffer as well. Even when you go to church every week, there are times when we have to step back and just be alone and soak in God's presence to refill our hearts and spirits with Him.While sharing those deeply important lessons, Erynn, in a way only she can do, will also have you laughing out loud at her quick wit and quirky writing style. I love her characters' verbal outbursts about coffee, chocolate and Panda Express (my new favorite as well), and her hysterical labeling of certain things, e.g., calling a dark walkway "Murder Alley".She has a unique way of portraying young adult Christians as real people just trying to please God in a crazy world without being preachy or overly flowery. She is one of only a few authors for whom I have snapped up everything that she has written, and usually pre-order her books so I can have them the second they are available.Paige Torn is an entertaining read, that will keep you turning the pages to find out what crazy thing is going to happen next. When I end up staying up reading until 1 am on a work night because I can't put the book down, I know this book deserves 5 stars!
