The Mason Jar by James Russell Lingerfelt - Review

Hello Book Lovers!!!

I’ve just finished a book I was sent for review a few months ago and I just fell in love with it! It’s called The Mason Jar and it’s by James Russell Lingerfelt.

The Mason Jar is about two young people, Finn and Eden. Finn now lives with his Grandad as he has lost both of his parents but has a very strong bond with his Grandad. Finn’s Grandad leaves letters for Finn in a Mason Jar full of advice and hope for his future.

While in his college years he meets Eden, a girl that stole his heart. He couldn’t imagine life without her and the two of them are inseparable! But one day Eden leaves without any clue of where she has gone or whether she will ever return.

Finn writes a book about his life with Eden and what he got up to after she left like going to Africa to work. A friend of Eden’s finds out about the book, reads it and tells Eden she needs to read it, so full of curiosity that is exactly what Eden does.

Years later Finn and Eden find themselves at a homecoming and the truth of why Eden left so suddenly starts to spill out.

I really enjoyed the warm feeling and atmosphere this story had. The writing was beautiful and gave off such a romantic vibe I couldn’t help fall in love with the characters very quickly. For me one of the elements I really enjoyed was the relationship between Finn and his Grandad. The had such a strong bond and that made me instantly engaged in their parts of the story. I would have definitely loved to have seen more of Grandad throughout the story however as I think some of the time that part of the story was overlooked slightly.

I really loved how Finn’s story was told and we really got to know Finn very quickly which helped my enjoyment to the story as I quickly became very attached to him. I would have loved to have read more about Eden’s life with Victor and find out more about what happened from when they were originally together as that wasn’t discussed as much however that would have probably made the story way to long so I do see why that maybe wasn’t touched upon as much.

As soon as we found out about the homecoming and that both Finn and Eden were going to attend, I couldn’t wait to read about how the characters would react when seeing each other. I was so excited to find out whether they would end up together or go their separate ways and it definitely made me never want to put the book down.

Because of the beautiful writing style and the instant connection I had to the characters I really enjoyed this book and would love to read more about these characters and how their lives progressed after the events in this book. Overall I’d definitely recommend it if you like romantic stories with beautifully written characters that will make you feel ever emotion under the sun.
