I didn't like Tempest. 
 ***** 
 Oh, no. What the H did i just read?!! 
 It took me two-thirds of reading before I understood Cross' concept of travel. Ugh. I don't think my words will be coherent enough to convey my distaste. So Tempest, exactly how bad are you? 
 Well, Jackson is a jerk of a boyfriend. I can't believe that Holly needed to get shot and bleed to death so he'll realize what he had. However, Jackson as a brother is another thing. Courtney is a doll, and in association, so is Jackson when he's with her. The scenes between them is the only thing that i like in the story. I remembered the longing for things long gone, the regret for words left unsaid, the guilt for what-ifs. 
 This book would've been more interesting if Cross explore Courtney's life more. Courtney said something that i didn't get: she told Jackson that she always liked it when she was the one visiting him. Huh? Does that mean...? Oh, forget it! 
 Like i said, the time travel was hard to digest. The story was out of sorts. Jackson & Holly - well, with the going back and forth between their 2007 and 2009 versions, i couldn't keep track of their romance if it was any good. I have more questions than answers when i finished. 
 The ending was sad. Even if i didn't like Tempest as a whole, the ending made me kinda wistful.
