I was really concerned by the synopsis of this book that things would get stale from repeating the same day over and over. But that never happened! I'm really impressed by the way that Solomon felt out the exact points where as a reader things felt too same-y and had the character feel the same way, so she changed it up! A LOT! The cultural elements were cool, and made me learn new things about Jewish traditions. These characters really carried this story, and I think that it wouldn't be nearly as good if the characters weren't all so real feeling. It felt like no one got left behind, which I really appreciated. 

I can't give it a 5 because of the ending. It felt really contrived to cause drama? I think the story would have been stronger without that. It felt like the ending really fumbled the ball and then it wasn't able to recover after that.
