Book Description:

Dani’s survived a lot of sh*t storms. Her mother died. Her two sisters loathed her. One aunt hated her. The other was strangely distant, but the worst storm—being dumped by her childhood best friend/high school boyfriend/first love for her younger sister. There went the one person who was hers and with that, the main reason she stuck around. So, she left for ten years. But now she’s back, and nothing’s the same. With help from Jonah Bannon, a reformed—kind of—bad boy she remembers from high school, Dani uncovers family secrets that have spanned generations. And along with those, she’s about to face the biggest sh*t storm of her life. Only this time, she may not survive.

My Thoughts:

This is my first book by this author. I really enjoyed reading it. It does show that not every family is perfect and everyone has their own personal issues. The main character, Dani comes across to me as a strong person who knows what she wants and will not let other people push her around. Also, she’s not afraid of a confrontation. Her ex-boyfriend, Jake, is not any type of guy that someone, decent, like her deserves. He dumped her for her younger sister! Not only that but her dated her other sister as well. This guy dated three O’Hara sisters. That says a lot about him. As for Jonah, the bad boy of the town, I fell in love with him. People in the small town where he lives says that he’s a bad boy but really he is misunderstood. People go off of rumors and what they hear others saying instead of really getting to know him. Jonah and Dani are not friends during their school years; however, once she comes back into town after ten years, their relationship turns from friends to lovers and friends. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good read filled with real-life relatable problems and some drama. It’s a reminder that every family has secrets. Some will be revealed while others may never be revealed.

An Excerpt From Cami’s Decision

She felt someone bump into her as they walked past her. She slightly turned her head to the side and saw an evil grin on Leena’s face. “Oops, sorry,” she said in a very non-apologetic way.

Just then Kaci walked down the hallway and bumped into Leena nearly knocking her over into another fellow student. “Oops, sorry,” Kaci said to her with a frown. Her sister was pregnant for crying out loud. What was wrong with Leena Davidson? Did she have nothing better to do but bother people all day long?

“Why you little…”

“You do realize,” Kaci began, cutting her off, “that my sister is pregnant.”

Students were out and about trying to get to class and there were a few teachers around but none that were close enough to hear what was going on. Although Leena could’ve easily put Kaci in her place, she declined since they were out in the open around so many people.

“I don’t care if she’s pregnant,” she whispered to Kaci meaning every word of it.

“Well, then, I suggest you find someone else to mess with because if I ever see you doing that to her again I’ll put you ten feet under.”

A look of surprise came across Leena’s face. “Ten feet, huh?”
“Yeah that way even the dogs won’t find you,” Kaci whispered back to her and then grabbed Cami’s arm. Cami glanced back at Leena and saw a startled look on her face before that all too familiar grin appeared once again.

The Villians of Cami’s Decision ~ Leena & Kelly Davidson

You might love them…
The two sisters may hate everyone around them, but they have a sisterly bond that can’t be broken.
Or you might hate them…
The narcissistic sisters will bully and treat people as horrible as they please. Money can buy them everything after all since they are the Davidsons.
