I switched between the eARC and audio recordings of this book in order to finish it more quickly and utilize my commute time. I read this book in just over a day. It flowed quickly and the topic was always fresh and interesting. I especially enjoyed the Jewish aspect of Neveah's identity. Many of my students will identify with the feeling of being caught between two cultures as well as seeing their parents' relationship crumble.
It took the entire first half of the book for characters to start to solidify. Before that point it was confusing to keep the minor characters' straight.
