Two practical strangers. One fateful night. Two pink lines.
College senior and obsessive romantic Kayla Cummings' dreams of a storybook life are spun off course by an unplanned pregnancy after a one-night stand with her secret crush. Devastated, Kayla turns to her roommates and best friends for advice. No matter what she decides, no matter how deeply embarrassed, she has to tell the father.
Ben Strickland’s future is written in stone—as long as he gets a decent score on the Law School Admission Test. Feeling pressure from all sides, Ben struggles to juggle his upcoming finals, another shot at the LSAT, and his needy girlfriend Darcy. When the girl he spent a memorable night with weeks ago shows up at his doorstep pregnant, his already chaotic life spins out of control.
With the clock ticking, decisions to make, and a boatload of people to disappoint, Ben and Kayla embark on a journey neither anticipated—a journey where falling in love might be the biggest surprise of all. But when old hurts and buried secrets pose a greater threat to their future than impending parenthood, will Ben and Kayla go their separate ways or forge a new path to happy ever after?

My Thoughts
With its eye-catching, flirty cover, Formula for a
Perfect Life by Christy Hayes might look like a romcom, but it hosts a
story that deals with deep, hard issues. Kayla’s unplanned pregnancy takes the
lead in the novel, but guilt, shame, poor choices, and more are addressed as
Kayla and Ben find themselves suddenly in crisis. As the crisis begets
character development, both Ben and Kayla mature and are drawn to one another.
One of my favorite moments in the novel occurs when Ben stands up to defend
Kayla. The romance thread between Ben
and Kayla plays out in a believable manner that held my attention and had me
rooting for them to fall in love.
I recommend Formula for a Perfect Life by Christy
Hayes to readers searching for an inspirational contemporary romance. There’s a
strong message about reserving sex for marriage and Christian faith is a part
of the book. Overall, I enjoyed Formula for a Perfect Life and it’s a
keeper for my bookshelf.
