I thought this book was fantastic! I really enjoyed the narrative being from the elder Jacob and then the younger version as well. The older Jacob was great but hit close to home for me. It was hard not to think about my own grandparents while reading this story. It's funny how we seem to forget that our elders weren't always elder and have all these young, fun, charming, embarrassing, reckless stories from their youths. I would be lying if I said I didn't tear up a few times, I totally did. It was all worth it, this was a beautiful story and the end was nothing short of amazing.
