I agree with some of the reviewers before me that this should not be the first Jodi Picoult book a person reads. I did like the development of character over time however they were all so flawed that it was hard to choose whose side I most understood. The book is told through five different characters, and for the character of Rebecca the story travels back from the present to the event that started everything pertinent to the storyline. Jodi's later books are easier to read and comprehend. Sometimes it was hard to find the timeline for this story. All in all I enjoyed the book though; just not one of my favorites of hers.
