Perfect for Fans of Jennifer Hartmann's Catch the Sun and Monday's Not Comingby Tiffany D. Jackson

After Jonathan Earl David Iverson watches the first Star Wars movie and realizes his initials spell JEDI, he secretly fancies himself a Jedi warrior. He is determined to protect the women in his life including his single mom, Iris, whose live-in boyfriend is speed dating on the side; his hippie Aunt Rainbow, and her lovesick 12-yr-old, Penny, and of course. . .

Dora, beautiful and brilliant, the love of his life. Stanford scholarship secured, she is bound for the stars and will let nothing stand in her way.

But when Jed’s mistaken for a hero who has taken down a high school shooter, he must come clean and risk losing Dora, or slip further toward the Dark Side.

my thoughts:

Wow! What a fantastic story! I loved WiseHeart by Claudia Ermey. It was heartwarming, emotional, dramatic, relatable, and so much more. This is one book that I would happily recommend to everyone - it's a definite must-read!

Jed has decided that it is up to him to protect the women in his life. He's seventeen and his initials spell JEDI - so, of course he's a warrior. He wants to keep watch over his mom, Iris, whose boyfriend is up to no good; his aunt Rainbow and cousin Penny who happen to live next door; and Dora, his one true love. Oh, and then there's high school to deal with - all the usual drama and chaos that involves. I don't want to share anymore, because this is one story you have to experience for yourself. I will share that Jed finds himself in a situation where the truth must prevail at the cost of his love life. After all, a warrior must fight for good, right? 

Ermey has written a terrific story that will grab you right from the start. You'll fall in love with these characters and enjoy getting to know them. And, you'll definitely fall in deep with this story. Make sure to grab a copy and gift one to your favorite bookworm. You are going to LOVE WiseHeart! I know I did.
