Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta

5.0

I’m not too sure how to rate this yet, but I’m giving it a 4.5 star rating for now. I was really confused for the first half of the book, but had this feeling (probably based on all of the amazing reviews I’ve read) that this story still had some absolutely amazing things in store. AND IT DID. I loved, loved, loved the second half of the story so freakin' much. How both story lines and all of these tragedies and fates came together was done so beautifully and made me so emotional. I just can’t give this book full 5 stars because I think the first half could’ve easily been done in a less confusing and irritating way without compromising its mysteriousness that the author obviously wanted to stress from the beginning. However, the second part made it all worth it and I still highly recommend this book!
