The author uses the flashback device to tell the story of Adam & Summer. How effective was it in giving you a foundation for them as a couple and what almost severed their relationship? How was the timing of the transitions from the past to present day?

It was the best use of flashback I've ever read. Their story was wonderful and heartbreaking. The transitions worked very well.

I agree Anita, the flashbacks were pulled off so great. I was equally invested in past and present.

I put this question in here because I thought she got it perfect but didn’t know if it was just me loving the story. Those transitions seem to come at the right moments with just the things I needed to know at that moment.

She did get it perfect. I’m not a big fan of flashbacks, but their story really couldn’t be told without them.

It's not just you, Jonetta. I thought this author did the past/present perfectly too. It needed to be told so that we could understand Summer and Adam more and it really succeeded.

It completely reshaped my opinion of Summer.

Absolutely changed my opinion of Summer too. The flashbacks made her so human and their desperation about their relationship so real.

That’s it exactly!
