A Delirious Summer

Rating:
Summary: I thoroughly enjoyed this book
Review: As much as I enjoyed the first book, this sequel is even better. The plot builds and so do the characters. The only drawback is that I can't wait to read the conclusion in the third novel. I anxiously await.

Summary: Another Serving of Relational Gumbo
Review: Blackston splashed onto the scene last year with his highly entertaining "Flabbergasted." He introduced lad lit to a readership inundated with the chick lit counterpart. I welcomed the fresh touch and witty insights of the story.

Just in time for summer, Blackston serves up a second helping of relational gumbo. The novel may appear to be Christian dating ala mode, but it aims to be much more. This time, Jay remains in the jungles of Ecuador, while his friend and teacher, Neil, accepts a challenge to spend his own furlough in the tangled web of S. Carolina's singles scene. Along the way, he meets new friends, potential flames, and fresh insight into God's working in every aspect of his life.

Fans of the first book will enjoy visiting again with Darcy and Alexis. They'll enjoy the brief moments on a fishing boat, and the more stretching experiences of jungle work. Although the narrative seems to try too hard in some places, it's always fun and warm. Don't be surprised if you laugh out loud in spots. Don't be shocked if it lifts your spirits along the way.
