The Last Equation of Isaac Severy by Nova Jacobs
3.0
An unexpectedly dark, page-turning read. This book is a four star mystery novel but a two and a half star literary fiction.
I really enjoyed the mystery element of this novel. The clues and red herrings were great, and I thought the main character was the perfect narrator to make this math-heavy hunt digestible for right-brained readers.
I wish there had been more time spent developing the relationships between Isaac and his family members. We got really deep glimpses into one facet, but I would have liked more storytelling to round out the relationships.
