This book does a great job of making you invested in the characters. Then it takes you places you didn’t expect to go. There’s a lot of philosophy in it - even for a person with a Bachelors in Philosophy. But all in all it’s a really great read about a religious kid being thrown into temptation and what it can do to you. As a non-Jewish person, I really enjoyed the book and learned a lot.
