Savannah Comes Undone by Denise Hildreth

Enjoyment Score 2
Savannah Comes Undone is a an enjoyable, laugh-out-loud book. This is the second book in the Savannah series. The first book Savannah From Savannah was good, but this is book is better. The book starts out with Savannah being mortified that her mother (former Miss Georgia United States of America) has chained herself to a monument of the ten commandments in the center of town. This is the catalyst that causes Savannah to examine and make some changes in her all too comfortable and pampered life. There is a delightful cast of quirky characters: Amber, the current Miss Savannah United States of America; Joshua, Savannah's good looking co-worker; Joy, an eccentric old lady who wears the same clothes every day and has a knack for appearing at just the precise moment Savannah needs words of wisdom; Paige, Savannah's best friend and Duke, the faithful canine companion.

Faith Score 2
The characters in this book exhibit an authentic Christian life. They actively practice what they preach.

Purpose Score 2
As I started reading this book, I thought it was going to fall in the category of being solely for entertainment. As I kept on reading, I discovered the author did have a defined purpose. This book is about knowing what you believe, why you believe it and then having the courage to stand up for what you believe.

Page-turner Score 2

Tearjerker Score 1
No tears; plenty of laughs.

If you like to read Christian chick-lit, I think you will enjoy this book. The third book in this series Savannah by the Sea is due out June 2006. I can't wait.
