Life has loss, and she had her fair share of it. I felt that she was likeable and you wanted to root for her. My heart broke for her that she was very shut down almost unfeeling because it was easier than truly living. She wasn’t looking for anyone to save her, she just was doing what she had to do.

I enjoyed that her story was more realistic in the fact that she had pride and determination. Her parents died as well as her grandmother leaving her and her brother alone with no family left. She works hard to support herself in a home that is falling apart. Keri Ann is a really strong female, she doesn’t have it easy living in a small town in South Carolina. To whoever it was that mentioned this one. I honestly never even read the synopsis because it was recommended from a friend. I am so glad I got this book!!! It was totally not what I was expecting. I had heard about this book through the grape-vine and was really excited to read it. New book boyfriend alert!!! Oh wow!! Jack Eversea you are delectable.
