The book was fine. I wish I had known more about the Jewish culture before I read this book. I read it for school, so immediately the star rating has decreased. However, I did read on an article about this book that many readers thought this book was a nice gay Romeo and Juliet story. Once I started to look at at this book as if it were a love story, I was enjoying it much more than I had been before.
