Everything by Jeri WilliamsI was not familiar with this Author or her work, there was some general conversation going back and forth on FB so I decided to check her book out.  I was really surprised to see only one review on Amazon.  The review sounded interesting so I decided I’d purchase her book.  I promised Jeri Williams I would read it.  Well I read it.When first getting into this read, it was unlike anything I’ve read.  Not my norm by all means.  I wasn’t sure what this was.  It seemed like it was a story about some poor girl Dacey Harper who had a really dysfunctional life.  A father who kept a roof over her head, food in her belly and clothes on her back minus any love what so ever. Seems Dacey’s Mom died giving birth to her so you get the distinct impression her Dad resented the hell out of her. Then you have her crazy Aunt Opal who sometimes goes into the twilight zone.  Keep in mind they live in a small town in Florida and everyone knows everyone’s business.  So poor Aunt Opal is known as the town crazy.  Dacey’s boyfriend is some hot dude and I wasn’t really all into him as far as his character, something just didn’t sit right with me about him.  Then you have Dacey’s stepmother Ann who she didn’t consider her stepmother but her mother, and her little sister Aria. Aria and Dacey were insync with each other it was almost creepy. Well at least their Mom thought so.We can’t forget her smart mouthed BFF chica Tina.  Tina and Dacey had been friends since kindergarten and the sandbox crowd.  And of course good old Uncle Mick MTD anyone who read this book will know what that means.  Oh and we can’t leave out the sneaky dorm mate of Dacey, Kelly.  Yeah she was one person right off the bat I didn’t trust as far as I could throw her.  Little miss do good all sweet and innocent.  Yeah right.After a horrific accident where Dacey and Aria lose their parents you really see who the real friends are and you see how family is so very very important.  Her hunk boyfriend showed his true colors the stupid lump like Tina liked to call him.  I can think of a few choice words but if I printed them my review wouldn’t get published.  At first it seems that no matter what these girls couldn’t catch a break.  The grieving they went through was painful to read.  I can’t say anymore without giving too much away.  But I have to say one thing spoiler or not, Jusin Parker the Highway Officer that was at the accident scene pops up in Dacey’s life when she least expects it, and he’s such a gentlemen and you know he is really digging Dacey.  But he’s taking it slow and I’m loving it.  I’m really really digging Justin, and Aria and Ri Ri we need to see where this goes.  I can’t wait for Eugene and Opal to have their wedding.  Hmmm will this break down the cement walls around Dacey’s heart.  Will she let loose and open up to Justin?  (god I hope so).  I’m looking forward to the next installment  “Anything”  got to see where all this leads.
