When I saw that there was a novella coming out in Jake’s Point of View, I knew I had to read it. I had too many unanswered questions. If you have read Moving Forward, or if you plan to, you will want to read this. It was a great read to answer most of my questions. Especially the lingering WHY? Why her?!?!!? Why did you cheat!?!? I was so frustrated before with those lingering questions, and now I don’t have that anymore. I have my answers.. from the man himself. And the end didn’t surprise me.. and if you have read Moving Forward, you will know why. It has the same ending as the beginning of Moving Forward. Sometimes, you know how you just can’t read a book from a man’s point of view, it’s just not written well enough…. Well this isn’t the case here. It flows extremely well. It flows perfectly between the letter and the history to explain what happened. I loved it. I think it was perfect. The characters were already established in my mind from reading the other books. So it was almost like this was a missing puzzle piece to put everything together for me. Now I have the answers. I love how not only do I have the answers, but I also have the excuse. I now know what drove everything to happen. Like Jake calls it, a mistake that turns into a snowball. He really hit the nail on the head with that one. It really did turn into a snowball..or have a domino effect. Both sayings fit perfectly. I really liked this novella, I especially love the snippets of the letter.It's the perfect prequel tothe book.
