just Jack can be read as a standalone book although the book means so much more if you’ve read The Everything Trilogy.What happens when you feel you’ve lost that special bond? When that someone’s loss is like losing an arm?Don’t worry…nobody died. Growing up with his best friend Lily Jack had never given that a thought, Until one day when the choices she made changed everything between them and … thought, Until one day when the choices she made changed everything between them and their relationship had to shift. Life changes and people with it, which, for Jack, wasn’t a bad thing because it made him finally sit up and take notice of himself.
With his future to decide and his second chance at life, Jack could never have known where his onward journey would lead or how these experiences would shape him into a man who could never be described by his friends as ‘just Jack.’

Jack’s journey from fun-loving playboy to responsible man is one frought with fun and heart breaks. Shame on Rosie. Jack’s sabbatical helped him so much. So does Mya. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Jack the lad. Jack the joker of the pack. Jack the journalist. Jack the loveable guy. Jack the ladies man. Hmmm, no chance he’s just Jack to me.
I read The Everything Trilogy and fell in love with Jack’s character. I just knew he was someone I wanted to hear more about and thankfully I was not disappointed.
When you build an image in your mind of what would happen or how you see him then read his story it’s even better than you could have imagined.
Jack loses Lily to Alfie, not that Jack ever had Lily in that sense, but they have been a lot closer than most best friends. It’s time for Jack to find himself. For him to see where his future is taking him without Lily by his side.
‘just Jack’ takes you on one incredible journey. First we have the socialising Jack. Going clubbing with his friends Dave and Sam, meeting new friends, okay hook ups, one night stands or two in Jack’s case, huh? Yep he’s up for anything, literally.
Jack has trouble facing up to a few things, although everyone thinks he’s happy go lucky, he is terribly unhappy with how things are turning out and hearing a few home truths is a shocker for him.
Jack goes on a adventure, no one knows where or what he’s up to but it’s a journey that he hopes will help him discover himself.
On Jack’s return from his long adventurous holiday things do not go according to plan. He is definitely back in the real world.
His life has hit the all time rock bottom. He is disliking Lily something I never thought I’d see and avoiding her like the plague.
Lily kept something from him, something very important and he is struggling as to why and what it all means.
You know what they say though, once you hit rock bottom there is only one way and that’s UP.
Jack was meant for better things in this life. He has so much to offer. He goes on tour with Rick Fars and if you read The Everything Trilogy you will know that this tour will definitely do Jack the world of good.
Fun and laughter are the perfect medicine, that and Rick Fars niece, Mya.
Mya and Jack actually become great friends and he’s frighten to ruin that and clearly he doesn’t want Rick on his back.
Once Jack returns home life becomes very complicated. There is so much going on, everything is happening so fast the poor guy hasn’t got time to think properly. The only thing he knows is what’s right and what he feels and that will see him through.
I am bursting to give you all the details but I know that would be unfair of me. Trust me when I say whatever you thought you seen Jack doing with his life, it will not be that LOL.
He will however get is happily ever after because let’s face it he’s not just Jack, he’s Jack Cunningham the Jack we all love.
K.L. Shandwick does it again in Just Jack. If you read Everything series this book will make you fall in love with Jack Cunningham again.
Wow oh wow! Jack is so mixed up for so long, the only part of his life that’s straight forward is his work. His close friendship with Lily sometimes muddles and he has broken off with Rosie, he is spiralling out of control. This is intense and full of angst from the start, nothing is as clean cut as you imagine. Jack is complex and mixed up, blurred lines with friendship and love complicate how he feels until he decides to take time out. There were times I wanted to scream at Jack but at the same time I could understand where he was coming from, women have chucked themselves at him made sex an easy to come by thing in his life, love however has been elusive except for Lily. I felt both Rosie and Lily were wrong in what they did, both had plenty of opportunity to deal with the situation and didn’t, Rosie up till then had been supposedly perfect. I am glad Jack’s life takes a turn in the other direction with his sabbatical, his mind clears and though he still has issues to deal with he is more stable and grows up. My heart broke for him at times but I was also joyful at how things turn out, it was right for him. I lost myself reading this story it pulled me in different directions at times, it is emotional and as complex as Jack himself. I love Lily and Alfie, all the others including and most of all Mya and Ava. I am glad I read all the other books before reading this because it gave me the insight into the friendship that Jack and Lily had, their very strong bond and why any small misunderstandings feel much bigger and cause more strain. Jack is very much more than Just Jack, you will find for yourself if you read this. The last part of this story is pure romance and is absolutely beautiful to read.
Jack and Lily were the best of friends from a young age and as they got older and realised that they were developing feelings for each other, they decided to have a little distance, that was the most miserable time of their lives. With Lily meeting Alfie, Jack know he will always be part of her life, but not as import and now it would be Just Jack, and he had to work out the missing half of him.
After breaking up with his ex, Rosie because he wasn’t in love with her, he meets a girl called Gini and feels a connection, but it doesn’t work out.
Deciding to take a break from everything Jack heads away for six months and when he returns after trying to reunite with Rosie with no success, Jack takes the opportunity to tour with Rick’s band.
Seeing a music technician that stirs feelings in him, Jack is surprised to find out that it’s Rick’s niece Mya, even more surprised when Rick tells her it’s up to her, he doesn’t tell her what she can and can’t do. With Mya and Jack slowly becoming closer friends and with a little push, one night after a accidently kiss, Jack feels like he never has before.
After they left the tour and returned home, Jack knew he had to work out things with Lily. Holidaying with Mya, he realises that life is too short for what if’s and on a day that they should be so happy Jack gets news that will change their lives.
I loved happily ever after ending and how Jack although he was still Jack, he ended up with more than he could have ever imagined and was more than Just Jack.
