And Ye Shall Be as Gods

Emily Carter- From the very first page, the tension and warmth of Jacob and Grace’s relationship drew us in. Chapter 1 immediately sets the stage for a story that is intimate yet expansive, as Notzon captures the weight of family ties and past regrets. By Chapter 2, the funeral scene had our group sitting in silence, feeling the grief and subtle humor intertwined in the ceremony. Grace’s vulnerability, her hesitant glances, and Jacob’s quiet protectiveness made us reflect on our own family dynamics.

Even in just five chapters, the emotional depth is staggering we’re already debating what choices Jacob might make and how Grace will respond. The New Chapter can’t recommend this book highly enough for anyone who values characters that feel alive.
