Love the format and progression of this book. Unique but so wonderful to follow along with. Definitely some heavy trigger warners to be heeded, but a really powerful read.

Hm. Mixed feelings. I felt, at first, that this was going to be a really strong book, but it flopped in the middle for me. Too referencial and while I appreciate his lack of decent apology or remorse was the point, Jacob's refusal to take responsibility for how he hurt Isaac was ... Hm. All I know is that if I got this letter in the mail, I would've skimmed it, scoffed, cried a little, brought it up in therapy, and then threw it away.
My heart broke for every character in this book. I marked down anecdotes that reminded me of my father and grandfathers, and am now reflecting on the experiences of my mother and grandmother. Generational trauma, isms and phobias dealt with nuance. Painful and real. As my Dad would say, “Damn.”
