I honestly don't like this type of pacing—a back and forth timeline—but this book is great and it kept me curious so much, it was a fun read. 

“To never dying.”
“To being remembered.” Their glasses clinked as Eli added, “Forever.”

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the characters were well developed and I love the

found family aspect

. The time jump style of the book was so fun and different

I loved how the past and present story all linked up to finish the story

with the amazing ending which left me screaming at all the pieces slotting together it was excellent craftsmanship. I am excited for the next book!
