I love the historical aspect of this book. I almost wish that it had been the sole focus of this book, and not included the 2019 bits. I felt like Jess and Theo’s relationship was kind of forced and not believable. And the ending for the 2019 portion was also just terrible. I loved Jarrett’s character and his evolution, as well as his determination , and pure devotion and loyalty to Lexington (Darley).
Graphic: Racism
Minor: Animal cruelty, Animal death, and War
