Cookie Aisle Review by Tyora Moody
Flippin’ the Script
by Aisha Ford
Life for Sabrina Bradley is not going well. Still reeling from a recent broken engagement, Sabrina makes her way through the pain by working tirelessly at her job. She work as the assistant to Darci Oliver, the host of the talk show Daily Dose. Darci seems oblivious to her demands on Sabrina and her quirks make Sabrina’s life increasingly more difficult. Darci especially turns up the heat when she notices the producer (also her ex-boyfriend), Avery is obviously attracted to Sabrina and making efforts to pursue her.
In a fit of desperation, Sabrina fills out her resolution list with the last item being, “Do not fall in love.” In search of content for the show, Darci unwittingly gets her hands on Sabrina’s list. With the promise of a bonus and a promotion, Darci encourages Sabrina to place herself as one of the participants on the “resolution” show. Soon the attention and pressure to keep the resolutions start to take a tole on Sabrina. In the midst of the chaos, Avery continues to pursue her and that “Do not fall in love” resolution becomes the hardest one of them all to keep!
This was second novel I have read by Aisha Ford and I love how she develops her characters. There were so many times during the read I wanted to give her advice or just pray with her. Through the humourous and often dramatic storyline, readers get a chance to see how impulsive decisions made out of pain and frustration, can truly backfire. Through Sabrina readers will be reminded of a valuable lesson which involves us letting go and letting God heal us. We need stand through out trials and wait patiently for what He has for us on the other side. Not wanting to give the ending away, I love the way things worked out for Sabrina!
