I flew through this book. The format in which it's written - short letters from a father to a son detailing the father's life - paired with fantastic writing and real and raw characters made this a real page-turner. I liked how honest Jacob was to his son, how he acknowledged he wasn't perfect but that he'd tried. How he still struggled with Isaac's sexuality but had come to accept it over time. It wasn't a happy ending story.

I'm definitely going to check out Daniel Black's other works!
