Summer Reading Novel

The book I read was called Water for Elephants. On a scale of 1-10 my book would be a one.  My book was about a kid named Jacob whos parents died when he was studying to become a vet in college and couldnt finish his studies. Since he had no parents he also had noone to pay for his expenses and ended up becoming broke and homeless. So he joines the circus since he has nowhere else to go. At the circus he falls in love with Marlena the animal trainers wife and gets into lots of crazy situations. The theme of my novel is life can change in an instant.
