Jodi Picoult has become one of my favorite authors, but in my opinion, this is not one of her best books. I have read all of her latest books, and am now working my way back to her earlier writings which I believe this is one of them. The entire plot is unrealistic which makes it hard for me to really empathize with either main character. As with her other books, she presents two different views of a situation and allows the reader to toggle back and forth between the both. The storyline picked up at the end, but the beginning was a yawner. If this is the first book you read by Jodi Picoult, don't let it be your last. She truly is an amazing writer that fully envelopes her readers in most of her novels; just not this time.
