The entire storytelling is genius. At first glance it seems like a regular book. But once you grasp the hidden meaning it opens up a whole new world. Absolutely incredible. 
The characters are delightful and I love how they each have a backstory.

Age difference :

not sure if this counts, as Emma and Jacob are both 16 physically, but Emma is technically the same age as Jacob's grandfather...
