Fancy White Trash by Marjetta Geerling

If you are searching for a lighthearted book to read Fancy White Trash by Marjetta Geerling is the perfect choice. I have to confess that I unwind every day watching the DVR of my soap opera, and Abby Savage, the narrator of this novel, loves soap operas. In fact, her entire life is a soap opera.
Her older sister Shelby is 20 years old and already married and divorced with one child. Her other sister Kait is pregnant with Steve’s baby. To make things worse Steve dated Shelby before he dating Kait; however, it makes it really a soap opera when Steve marries Abby’s mom and she is also pregnant with Steve’s child. Babies aside, Abby's best friend Cody will not admit he is gay and all Abby wants is to find a guy to date who has not dated or slept with any of her sisters or her mother! So she forms a 5-step plan to find her One True Love. But when Cody’s brother Jackson returns home from a summer spent helping the poor in Central America, he does not fit the One True Love plan and that complicates things. To make matters more confusing, Jackson used to date Kait and Abby suspects that he, not Steve, might be the father of Kait’s unborn baby. All of this makes for a fun soap opera read!
