Her dad is absent, and her mother is an alcoholic/workaholic who is rarely home.Īlice gets home late one night, and her mother Anna demands to meet the boy that Alice is spending so much time with. She divides her time between hanging out with Jack, going to high school, and spending time with her younger brother, Milo. Over the next few weeks, Alice begins spending more time with Jack, going to concerts and midnight showings of Rocky Horror Picture Show. They decide to head back home, when they’re chased by a group of guys, but then Jack Townsend arrives to save the day and he chases off danger.ĭespite his goofy new wave style, Jane is instantly enamored with him – along with every other person who sees him – and Alice feels an attraction to him, but it’s different for her than it appears to be for everyone else. It begins with seventeen-year-old Alice Bonham and her best friend Jane Kress trying to get into a club in downtown Minneapolis, but their fake IDs aren’t working. The first book takes places in the spring of 2008. So with that, let’s begin at the beginning: I didn’t include the novella Letters to Elise because the recap/summaries are already super long, and it’s not strictly necessary to read the novella (although it does shed some light on a few things). It’s basically like an extended written version of the “Previously On” recap they do at the beginning of TV shows. It’s not going to go into enough detail, however, to substitute reading the books if you have never read them, and I would not recommend reading Swear if you haven’t read any of the previous books – otherwise it will most likely be very confusing. This post is more intended for people who don’t have time to do a re-read or simply don’t want to – and also to highlight important parts for people that are doing a re-read. This post will be covering the first four books in the series, so obviously it will be a giant SPOILER for the entire My Blood Approves series if you have not read it yet. It’s only a few more days until the final book in the My Blood Approves series is released! Since there was a gap between the release dates of the fourth book Wisdom and this book Swear, I thought it would be fun to do a quick recap to work as a refresher before you dive into the final book.
