luna_98 's review for:

House Rules by Jodi Picoult
3.25
challenging emotional funny informative mysterious sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

the writing in this book was really well done, no doubt. but i can’t tell if this book was entirely too long or entirely too short. we went on a journey for over 500 pages and then the ending was wrapped up in like 20 pages and i felt like it deserved more? how does the family’s story truly end? 
every character had their own flaws and it made me conflicted on who or what i was rooting for. it wasn’t just a clear “root for jacob because he was wrongly accused”. there were so many other layers that i don’t know what i feel like each character deserved.
