So I accidentally read OUABH before this, and just saying, I think the "friend" who wrote Donatella the letter at the end was

Jacks. Also, I ship Jacks and Evangeline, not Jacks and Tella. Sorry ya'll!

Anyway, this book started out slow, but once it got going, it was GOOD. Would recommend. (Also, you'll want to read this series before OUABH).

Oh my goshhhhhhhhhhhh. I wanted to throw this book across the room. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jacks.

He used the stones to save Eva because he loved her, instead of going back in time for Tella.

Jacks is my favorite 1000%!

I am speechless. This book has changed me. First, the cliffhanger is CRAZY also I HATE David. This book is so good by David is so… I don’t even know how do describe it.

Why did David have to break up with Stevie??? 😭 And the he just moves on (I know he was drunk) and kissed another person. I hate David so much.

Lastly, Nate is my favorite. Nate eats. He eats chocolate chip cookies and pizza at 3 in the morning. Hate David; love Nate.
