Jacob Have I Loved

I've had some extra time during my free period at work lately, so I've read a couple books I found on a bookshelf there. The first was Jacob Have I Loved by Katherine Paterson. It's a book I've heard about for years but for some reason never read. It is the story of twin girls--Sara Louise and Caroline--who live on an island in the Chesapeake Bay in the 1940s. Sara Louise tells her story of growing up in the shadow of her "perfect" twin sister.

This was a nice read that really pulled you into the narrator's point of view. I definitely had some tear-y moments in the book because I just really felt for Sara Louise. The book had interesting characters and a nice ending.

Rating: * * (2/3 = Liked it)
