Jessica book snsd7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Nothing was specifically discussed about Jessica’s glaring absence though during some of the songs, Jessica’s portion was left unsung with only music playing. Now the pictures are out from the fan meeting best described by Chinese fans in attendance as absolutely surreal. It took SM Entertainment many hours before releasing the official statement confirming that Jessica was indeed out of SNSD but would still be managed in her solo activities by SM. During the interim period after the news broke and before the official confirmation, the remaining 8 members of SNSD jetted off to Shenzhen for their fan meeting scheduled later that evening. Now former member Jessica dropped the bombshell that she had been abruptly kicked out from SNSD even as she was headed back to Korea from NYC to join her fellow members to jet to Shenzhen China for the group’s first Chinese fan meeting.

![]() On the positive side Travis is a great POV character and his story was engaging. I liked some aspects of it very much and others not at all. I had a very mixed reaction to this book. She and Travis have bad history going back to middle school, but he's hoping that they can put it behind them because she's the only person in Florida he actually wants to spend time with. The one bright spot in all this is Harper. His worst problem is that he's consumed by guilt over the death of his best friend in combat and experiencing serious PTSD symptoms. His mother is behaving oddly, his parent's marriage may be breaking up, and he no longer has anything in common with his old friends. ![]() His younger brother is dating his ex-girlfriend, Paige, and driving his car without permission. His relationship with his father is still as bad as it was when Travis joined the Marines to get away from his disapproval. ![]() Travis Stephenson is a Marine home on leave after a deployment in Afghanistan, and things aren't peaceful on the home front. ![]()
