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...

It's been a while since I've read this book as I own the first two in the series and while I will consider reading the second since I already own it I'm unsure if the series is worth continuing
The book was dreadfully boring and slow paced for most of it and found myself almost forcing myself to finish it
The idea is interesting enough but the execution and pacing was horridly slow
The ending or near it was practically the only fast paced part
