Matchmaking, Chick Flicks, and Coffee

     Out of all the books that I’ve read, one of the most fun characters to read about and get to know has to be Lauren Holbrook from Miss Match. Lauren, better known by her nickname Laurie, is a laid back and goofy photographer around the age of twenty-three. I admire Laurie’s character because she is a Christian who is active at her church, not afraid to stand up for herself, and has a friendly and funny personality. I’m like Laurie in many different ways. For one, we are both addicted to chocolate and coffee. We also share a love for classic chick flicks such as “While You Were Sleeping”, the “Princess Bride”, and of course, “Pride and Prejudice”. There are also a number of things different about us. Lauren is a great matchmaker, while I feel I would be horrible at trying to get people together. Another difference is that Laurie’s mother died when she was still young, and I’ve had my mother to care for me my whole life. Laurie is one of those characters that you feel you really know. Her character doesn’t seem made up, but like she could live right down the block. I feel as if she could be one of my best friends with her bubbly personality and constant kidding around.
