This book-within-a-book story was incredible. We first hear from Jacob in his earlier years, and then after he publishes this career-changing novel. We also get to read excerpts from his book along the way, which I particularly enjoyed.
I didn’t know much about the plot (ha) going into it. I find that book blurbs often taint my expectations, so all I knew when I started this one is that there was a grave on the front cover and that I enjoyed the author’s previous book! As you can imagine, this book was nothing like what I expected. I was so pleasantly surprised by this unique premise.
I recommend going in without much information as well. You won’t be disappointed!
On audio, it was a lot to keep straight. You have the real-life characters as well as the characters within Jacob’s book, and if I happened to pause in the middle of a book excerpt, it was a little confusing to figure out “where” I was and who the focus was on. I was especially glad I had the book to follow along with!
