I'd probably give this a 3.5 if that rating was available.
I expected to LOVE LOVE LOVE this book based on the numerous recommendations. I was left disappointed. The whole story, in my mind, is not about Jacob, rather, the dynamics of a struggling family. When the most important struggle is happening, the book ends. I give it

I liked this book but there was something about it that kept me from loving it. I felt the plot was unique and I enjoyed it. There were qualities about the characters that I didn't like or enjoy reading but ultimately I guess that shows how well they were written. I would still recommend it though!
Giving this 5 stars because it has my mind reeling. It wasn’t perfect, but I must applaud an author’s ability to have me absolutely stupefied.
I want to keep this review spoiler free… but I will note that after finishing the book, it’s meaning and content completely changed in my mind. I read it as one sort of novel and realized afterwards that it was completely different.
