If you enjoy slice of life, you’re going to love this! After the emotional rollercoaster that King put us through, this novella is such a sweet treat. We get a glimpse into the future of Jake and Jamie, as well as see even more of what’s in store for them.

My only gripe is that Jamie acted pretty out of character during parts of this story. Without giving too much away, Jamie is sexually blackmailed by one of her professors. She recognizes that Jake is going to be furious with what’s going on, but rather than confide in him, or just stand up to the professor, she goes along with it? For having been with Jake for a handful of years, I would have at least expected Jamie to have more of a backbone, or at the very least have confidence in her boyfriend to be able to handle it herself. I couldn’t help but feel disappointed in her for giving into the pressure.

Nonetheless, I still enjoyed seeing these characters grown up and learning about what they got up to!
