If you are a girl and have an older or younger sister, then you'll be able to relate to the main character in this book. Jacob Have I Loved is about a girl, Sara Louise who’s always in Caroline, her twin sister’s shadow. It seems to Sara Louise that everybody likes Caroline more because she’s pretty and talented. Little do they know that Caroline steals almost everything from Sara Louise, even her best and only friend!

Sara Louise was born a few minutes before her twin sister Caroline. Even though she did not remember those moments when the spotlight was on her, she cherished them. But now, Caroline was in the spotlight. At age thirteen, Sara notices that Caroline has robbed everything from her. Her hopes for schooling, her friends, even her name no longer belongs to her. Secretly Sara is learning the ways of a water boatman and is trying to get to the one thing Caroline can’t reach. Will she succeed?
