Oh! one piece that is yet to be discussed is the inside job, "the leak" with Brittany's kidnapping. one and a half books and counting...

I also am not a fan of Stephanie getting pregnant again. I feel like she wanted the attention again or felt left out with Brittany and now Julie pregnant. like girl, can you not make it about yourself?

Finished on 06/02/17

I liked that this one was shorter. it was really action packed in the beginning, but once Tommy woke up it started to drag with filler.

The ending leaves you anxious and hanging which is good. But this novel had me thinking, "is that possible? could that happen? is it realistic?" I guess you could answer "yes" to any of those but I found some parts are to grasp.

Brittany bring up "squishy" again and this time references Courtney.

The dream sequence tony has was well written by Nadler. It shocked the heck out of me but I realized he was possibly having a dream based on how quickly, even calm the characters portrayed themselves in the nightmare.

Nadler definitely got better with her writing, only took five novels...

oh! I remember the other trigger from a previous novel... when Tommy talks about offering money to bill, jack mentions having bill earn the money. Tommy shared the same idea in the previous novel but didn't bring that up in this novel.

Not as many but still a few inconsistencies with spelling and grammar.

Jack also just woke up from a dream where Bee (awful nickname btw) was seven but when he woke up he said she was six.

This novel is definitely the strongest so far in terms of content and flow, but it still lags in the middle...

A few things have triggered past novels but nothing is elaborated. One is when Brittany calls Tommy "squishy." Something Courtney called him. There was something else and sadly I cannot remember it at this moment.

It's hard to believe that Julie is pregnant with triplets. It's rare and I'm just not finding enough to believe it is true; it's farfetched and personally, the downfall of this novel.

I liked how Tommy remembered everything - Nadler wrote it well. Brittany is starting to royally pis me off on her attitude and personally. I think this feeling towards her has been growing over the last two novels. Now it's just like "damn girl, get over yourself and grow a damn backbone."

This book started off strong, but I'm worried it's starting to hit lag territory. This novel is also a lot shorter than the previous - only 250ish pages and 50 some odd chapters rather than 400+ pages and 90 some odd chapters. I prefer shorter novels so hopefully Nadler cut the chatter clutter.
