I was tremendously astounded with how much I loved this novel. It was a lot different from what I've read before and honestly, I don't think I've read a lot of Adult Fiction. This was a 'breath of fresh air while also maintaining a serious undertone' read. Serious topics were talked about and honestly pulled at each and every heartstring, allowing me to imagine myself going through exactly what The Cast went through. The Cast was a different read because of the characters being of a Jewish community, so it was fun to see how that played out and developed with some of the characters. Honestly, all of the Hebrew really intrigued me. I definitely recommend to those who want a bit different of a read.
