I was hooked, I really wanted to know what happened.

I felt so sad that Tallullah wasn’t speaking to her mom about how horrible Zach was, I really wished she did. And I was so glad that Tallullah was saved in the end. I know they’re fictional but I was really into it.

I’ll be reading more of Jewell’s books in the future.

I enjoyed it! Read it in one sitting. 

Although I do agree with one of the other reviews here that it was a lot with the multiple jumping timelines, like past to present to even further past to even further present. 

I liked this I think more than her other book then she was gone
