4.0

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry, guys,” he told them.
He started ripping off the wires from the front of his jacket.
“I’m not . . . I’m not coming back. I can’t do it anymore.Tell Astrid I’m sorry”


In book 1, [b:Monument 14|12753231|Monument 14 (Monument 14, #1)|Emmy Laybourne|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1337779838s/12753231.jpg|17894351], the above words were the last we heard from Jake. He left the store and went out to check if the hospital was open...and then he disappeared and left everyone behind.

THIS story is the story of what happened to Jake when he was gone. Amazing! I loved it - to see it from his perspective. And to get to know him just a little bit better.

A little bit of my heart broke for him reading this, because you get to see a little more of him- but then I remember what he left behind and how he left it. And I'm not quite as sad for him, but it's still hard to be Jake....

I love this series. I need another book soon :)
