My daughter has this belief that everything in her life needs to go according to her high-school plan, or she will end up with a miserable future. Her coursework is heavy pressure, and she puts a lot more pressure on herself on top of it. It worries me. I keep praying for her to learn how to let God take over some of those concerns. She comes by her worrying personality naturally!
In the book Formula for a Perfect Life by Christy Hayes, the characters go through a world-shifting experience that changes their life plans. I loved how Kayla’s mom Jessica handled the unexpected news. She was the kind of mom I want to be — a loving guide, not an iron-fisted tyrant.
Though this is marketed as a Christian novel, it’s not sugary sweet. The situation heads into real-life territory. Many young people will relate to the events and character experiences in the story. It’s a clean read that doesn’t go into too much bedroom detail.

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?
