I wish I was smart and insightful enough to write something close to a worthwhile review for this. Haven’t read this since college and I don’t think Jacob at that time would have really understood it anyway. I still don’t entirely, I just know it’s a rich and beautiful text that’s worth revisiting

With both an unexpected structure and twist that I was not expecting at the outset, the story swiftly captivated me. Ultimately, the sincere characters and heartfelt relationship at the core of the novel certainly made it one to remember.
