I purchased this book from @bookofthemonth to read with my bestie @mycornerforbooksand. All opinions are my own. šššš The Last Equation of Isaac Severy by Nova Jacobs. When we started this book I expected a mystery but it began with death and a letter from Isaac to his granddaughter Hazel. In the letter he left her clues to get to the next clue to deliver his life’s work to a man she needed a clue to find. Isaac Severy and his brothers and their children are all mathematical geniuses and Hazel has always felt like an outsider. The family dynamics of this book are astonishing. The love affairs, the mathematical problems, the clues, the migraines, the crime, the relationships, it felt like watching a soap opera on paper. I didn’t hate it I just didn’t love it. It truly is a novel in clues and every clue leads to another then to another. If that’s your kind of puzzle then this is your book.
