Okay, now that I've gone back to book one and read it, I can confirm that the author seems to be a little willy nilly with her epilogues and keeping track of timelines. So that's always annoying as a reader who always tends to catch those things easily. That said, I still enjoyed the story and felt all of the emotions. The series starts when they're in college and many of them meet. We get to see how Jax and Sidney end up together and how she earned her nickname Trouble. I liked their banter, the way the reason they start studying together flips the usual cliche on its head, and seeing more of the origin story for the eventual throuple in books three and 3.5 that I've already read about. I'm a little confused on how Lucas and Piper are book two but I'm going right into that next because again, it may just be a wonky timelines thing and now I need to know. Also, heads up if you don't like a 3rd act breakup cuz the one in this book was heartbreaking for a little while.
