I've
said it over and over again how talented of a writer I believe Jess Dee to be, but
this book is simply incredible. Dinner at Eight is a powerful and moving
story, and I loved each and every moment of it. Jess has never been one
to shy away from an emotional story, which is why I love her so much,
but this one had so much more depth to it than any of her previous books
with maybe the exception of her Circle of Friends
series. What made this book so special for me was the subject matter.
Ava feels broken inside. She put her trust in the wrong man and now,
although she is just going through the motions of living life and taking
back what pieces she can, she still feels that some aspects of her
previous life are never going to come back again because she just can't
trust others and most of all herself.
When Jared, her long-time best friend, returns from being in the states for the last year and a half, you can automatically tell by her reaction to him that they have an undeniable and very powerful connection. Ava is such a deeply strong character, but she also had this hidden vulnerability too that just nearly breaks your heart as you find out more about what happened during her marriage. I also don't think anyone else could have been more compassionate or caring towards Ava as Jared was. He holds the title as my second favorite hero ever, because of his unwavering support and love for Ava as she pushes to take back all aspects of her life. You know, I'm amazed that it took so long for them to get together, but then again I honestly think that the timing was quite perfect as well.
Overall, I feel that Dee has something pretty amazing here that you should all read. It is an emotional roller coaster, but when you get to the end it will leave you with a smile and a warm fuzzy feeling inside. So needless to say, Jess Dee delivered in a BIG way with Dinner at Eight, and I promise you guys are going to love every single moment of it just as I did.
