Tess Chapter List

Having difficulty finding the start of a chapter on your iPhone or Kindle? I have made a chapter list that will HOPEFULLY help you find your place. These positions are using an iPhone Kindle app on the regular text size and orientation (if you rotate your phone, I'm not sure about the location numbers).

How to Jump to Locations/Search
It's actually incredibly easy to jump to a specific location or search for a quote on your iPhone Kindle app. Tap on the screen until the bar pops up at the top/bottom (like in the picture on the top of this page).
