Helpful Score: 1

In addition to enjoying Jodi Picoult's writing, I was drawn to this book based on it's subject matter - assisted suicide. It's a very controversial topic, and I believed Picoult would explore it in a way that would have the reader thinking about both sides of the issue. I think some of it was lost, however, on a secondary plot that took up too much of the story. I don't want to say too much for fear of spoiling it for anyone that hasn't read it yet, but it was very clear that there were two separate plots - and I think the one NOT about assisted suicide dominated the book and for me, just seemed a little out of place.

Overall, it was a good book. It started off a little slow for me with the secondary plot being the focus, and not interesting me that much, but I flew through the second half of the book.
