This was a book I could totally relate to! The main character seemed to have beliefs and values modeled exactly like my own, while still being human enough to express her true thoughts and feelings. I could really identify with the struggles she encountered with desiring and striving to act in a Christ-like manner, and at the same time thinking some unbelievably sarcastic or cynical thoughts. I couldn't stop laughing when she actually WISHED that someone's babies would come out looking like m

I feel like there have been Mandy Moore movies made out of some of these books, no? I have not seen these movies, although I am strangely titillated by the concept of Mandy Moore in a series of Christian-chick-flick movies. If there exists a market for chick lit about adorable Christian lesbians, I am that market.
Anyway, I like this book. I like, in a large part, being reminded that there are people in their twenties whose inner lives are comprised in a large part of trying to maint More...

wow! I'm completely with out words... slightly torn, confused, and simply sitting back... trying desperately to cling on to the notion that God really does know what's best, and has the most AmazingPlan for each and everyone of us. Unfortunately, some pieces of all of this hit so dern close to home it's frightening... now if my knight in shining armor would just pop his head into my life, I might be able to actually move along *shrug* in His Timing... I know *sigh*

This Christian chick-lit book is the second in the Ashley Stockingdale series and it picks up right where the previous one left off. Ashley is in a dither as she tries to make her relationship with the man of her dreams, Seth Greenwood work out. However, their differing approaches to their relationship make it difficult for them to come together. The situation is further complicated when both of their exes show up and their is renewed interest from the exes. While I generally liked the book,

For a "clean" Christian chick lit book, I found Ashley to be entertaining. Of course I got bored of her overly dramatic search for a husband, which often came off as whining, but she was a very likeable person other than that minor issue. I read the 2nd book first (not knowing it was a series or even Christian) and from then, I read #1 and #3....all three in a little over a week. I'd be friends with Ashely in real life as long as she wasn't too preachy.

I just saw this book at the library and thought it might be good. It was super funny. A girl has been dating a guy for 9 months and thinks its time for an engagement but the guy has other ideas. The big day comes and all her friends have been invitied to the boyfriends for a surprise. He gives her a dog instead of a boyfriend. Her world is crazy and she is a bit misguided and naive when it comes to men. It is a cute story and would like to see more with the same characters.

This book is the second in teh Ashley Stockingdale series. It picks up where book one left off. The characters are likeable and the storyline while predictable keeps a good pace. If I could have a I would have given this book a 3.5. It was good to get another glimpse at what was going on the the lives of the characters of this book. I would recommend this author and this series especially if you want a light quick read.

This is the first book in a trilogy of "Christian Chic lit" about the same main character Ashley Stockingdale. The writer's style is so fresh and the character Ashley is so quirky...her life is really believeable. In the book you follow Ashley, a patent lawyer, on her "indirect" search to find Mister Right. I caught myself laughing out loud at least a dozen times. It was so much fun to read!

Classic tale of which guy will she choose. Portrayed the two guys as equally likable at first and I was pleasantly surprised at her choice. I love the drama surrounding each guy. Ashley is a character we feel like we can relate to. I read this series one after another. Good thing my friend owned all 3!

This book was fun to read and so present! I've not read many "inspirational/religion fiction" books, but Kristin Billerbeck does such a good job of making the characters relatable and real, I definitly will be reading more!

I liked that she got her life in order but I was so worried she was going to waffle between guys again, but she ended up with the one I wanted her to. Good book :)Can't wait to read the last one!

Ha, ha....Ashley with a dog! Although I liked the book, I felt as though the character, Ashley makes everything more dramatic than they really are.

I'm really debating on what to rate it. It's a good book but the character is annoying. She's very materialistic

Still entertaining, but not quite as good as the first book in the series.

This series is perfect when I want a quick-read that doesn't involve too much thinking. What I love most about these books are Kristin Billerbeck's humor and wit.

This is the second book in Billerbeck's Ashley Stockingdale series. I am happy to say that I really enjoyed this book! Ashley finally grew a backbone, which is something I need in a female character (especially the heroine). This book was much less predictable than the first and, though I still can't see myself in Ashley, I did enjoy "watching" her stumble through life in her own clumsy way.

This one was more surprising than the first. I was totally expecting Ashley to end up with Seth. I was shocked when Kevin proposed to her at the end, but I was happy with the ending.

By the third book, I was becoming a little redundant, but I still enjoyed reading it. Sometimes it is fun to have something light to read that doesn't require much concentration.

I love this series! I'm about to start the third book now. It's a great light read when you want a good laugh or two. I reccommend this to all single Christian women!

I wish I would have read this book before its sequel. It was still good though as I was able to see where the story came from and all the guy issues Ashley was having.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first in the series, but it was a fun read as I expected it to be. A good beach book for light reading.
