Only Uni by Camy TangMy rating: 💛💛💛
To be honest, I struggled a bit to connect with Trish. Her rules sounded a bit far fetched, her personality to me came across as a bit cold and the situations she found herself in, though humorous, a bit unrealistic. But I am glad I stuck through to the end. The surprising twist close to the end brought emotion to Trish’s story and the lessons she learned about God, though true, is something a lot of us struggles with ourselves.
"You don't have to be perfect to serve God."
The grandmother of hers is quite something else and I found myself thinking a few times - “is she serious” while laughing as well.
I loved the most important lesson Trish learned - it is not about pleasing people and having people like you, but ultimately about what pleases God. Also, even if you change and repent, you still have to deal with the consequences of your actions.
"Let me say this again: He's God. He has His reasons. Who are we to question them?"
The peak of the first chapter of book 3 made me happy that I already have it.
Recommended to people who is looking for a lighter read but still has a deeper truth to discover.

Review of Book 1
About the book:
Senior biologist Trish Sakai is ready for a change from her wild, flirtatious behavior. So Trish creates three simple rules from First and Second Corinthians and plans to follow them to the letter. No more looking at men as possible dates, especially non-Christians. Second, tell others about Christ. And third, she will persevere in hardship by relying on God. And just to make sure she behaves, she enlists the help of her three cousins, Lex, Venus and Jennifer, the only Christians in their large extended family.
But Trish's dangerously tempting ex-boyfriend, Kazuo the artist, keeps popping up at all the wrong moments, and her grandmother, who has her eye on his family money, keeps trying to push the two of them back together again. Then there's Spencer, the hunky colleague at work who keeps turning Trish's thoughts in the wrong direction.
It just isn't fair! She's trying so hard, but instead of being God's virtuous woman, she's going nuts trying to stand firm against two hunky guys. Trish thought following her three rules would be a cinch, but suddenly those simple rules don't seem so simple after all.
