Sometimes a book comes along that you just click with. Sometimes you can't even fully explain why. Its strange for me to favourite a book that I don't resonate with in some way but this book is just so well written, has such a soft, warm essence, and is such a pleasure to sink into. Disobedience is an unexpected, yet delightful new friend. I took my time with it and relished every page.

3.5 stars for me - I wanted to love this but wasn't entirely won over by the characters or their relationships however I loved the glimpse into the Jewish community which I knew very little about previously.
