Flabbergasted!
Title: Flabbergasted
Author: Ray Blackston
Genre: Fiction
If you are looking for the perfect book to take on a camping trip, road trip or to the beach, Flabbergasted is an excellent choice. The story is about a twenty-something single guy named Jay. He just accepted a new job in the town of Greenville, North Carolina. After closing on his house, he asked the realtor where the best place would be to make some friends (or meet the girls). Because Greenville is the Bible belt of the south and churches out number the bars in town, she suggests to Jay, to visit the local church. Yes, the fun starts here.
It is at North Hills Presbyterian Church that Ray meets a new group of friends, and also discovers Allie, beautiful brunette with the year round tan. After spending several months with his new friends, he realizes that there is more to life than a solid career and a nice bank account. No, this is not a love story; it’s just a funny story about one guys life.
Because I work as a lay leader for the young adult group at my own church, I totally understood and appreciated the humor of Ray Blackston. I found myself laughing out loud several times (my personal favorite was the excel spreadsheet….read the book!). I know that Ray Blackston has 2 more books out that include the same characters in Flabbergasted, they are called: Lost in Rooville, and A Delirious Summer.

Haha, thanks Jenny.
Oh I'm sure you'll like it! Did you know that you can request books at the library online? I do it all the time.
Sure- you can read it when she's done!
Hey! I should be done with it by Sunday. So, Sue, I'll give it to you by than. It's a good read.
Yes, Jenny, I did know that! I got it today and I'm already one fourth through it. It's a great book.
In fact, I did request it right after I read your post. :P
