First there's her exciting renewed relationship with the love of her life¿Branson Price.

In a few tragic weeks, her ankle is sprained, her scholarship is rescinded, her brother's gambling addiction lands him in the hospital, Branson pressures her to go too far in their relationship, and the ugliness of racism hits close to home.

Does Mrs. Moore remember what she writes? I mean there is so many plot holes in this book it's not even funny! First of all, it's stated that Laurel's best friend Brittany's dad hasn't seen or heard from her mom in years but in the second book her parents are arguing at the doctor's office when she finds out she's HIV postive. And in the first book it's stated that Robyn's dad is away on a flight because he's a pilot but in this book he died a while back. And although this was in the last book and not this one, Megan was dating Luke NOT Liam! Another problem I found with this book was the racism, just like with the 3rd book in the Payton Skyy series, it was so in your face and unrealistic, I know racism is out there but it's nowhere near as obvious as this book portrays it to be. Also, the whole subplot about how Laurel's parents didn't have money saved up for her to go to UGA was a flaw I found as well. I mean hasn't anyone heard of student loans? They do have those and that's what most students at UGA use anyway. I liked it but there were way to many plot holes and the racism was of course over the top but it was good to see the whole UGA thing from Laurel's Point of view. Just like with Payton's series, the first and fourth books are the best while book two kind of drags.

This review is from: Equally Yoked (Laurel Shadrach Series, 3) (Paperback)

In Equally Yoked, I learned that you have to be 'equally yoked' in all things that you do. You just don't have to be 'equally yoked' in Christ, but in all of your relationships as well.
