The Last Equation of Isaac Severy: A Novel in Clues by Nova JacobsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Last Equation of Isaac Severy by Nova Jacobs is a mystery involving math and puzzles which is enough for me to want to read it. However, it also includes some of the best descriptions of grief I have ever read. Going through my own grief for a parental figure at the same time, I felt a real kinship to Hazel and even some of the other characters. I'm also not a math person even though I find it endlessly fascinating. I felt like Hazel and I were working this out together using our knack for logic. I enjoyed this book so much I imperiled my own life by walking down the sidewalks of New York City while reading because I didn't want to put it down. That says a lot.
