More like 3.5 stars. Rash writes with easy lyricism, so even though the Themes are a little obvious, this was a beautiful read.

The first half was 4.5 stars -- excellent -- the second half was only OK. I specifically didn't believe the "Isaac" chapter. The ending of the novel didn't match the excellent first half.

The author writes short stories. Reworking the first half as a novella would have resulted in a better piece of fiction than the novel turned out to be.
