This book really let me down. The plot was thin, the result anticlimactic, and the story telling was wordy. I was ready for this to be my new The History of Love (a total win for me) and it was far from it.

12 year old Ethan is really smart. He loves science and can do mathematical calculations in his head that I couldn't do in an hour with a calculator. He is raised by his mother and has no memory of his father. The book is told from Ethan's perspective as well as both of his parents'. There are a lot of twists in the plot as we begin to understand what happened in their family. A story of the complexities of denial, guilt, blame, and forgiveness.
A novel by a debut author I hope to get to this weekend. #newauthor #splashintosummerreads
Such a tender story, showing us how sometimes terrible things happen to good people.
I really enjoyed this book that tackled some pretty dark subjects. Claire, a former ballerina, lives in Sydney with her intelligent 12 year old sun Ethan. Ethan knows nothing about his father or why he isn't in their lives. Things change when Ethan's father Mark arrives in Sydney. The way this book is plotted is amazing. You learn tidbits of information as the story progresses to the point it reads like a mystery. Plus it is full of physics. 4.5/5
Despite some dark moments, thus novel was sweet, thoughtful, and perfect for a physics nerd.
A story that captivated me. It had something very uplifting about it. You'll learn plenty about physics too! 😊
It's a beautiful Victoria Day holiday! Starting in on this one.
