Like all of Jodi Picoult's other stories, this one hinges on the relationships between families and friends. Picoult is an excellent writer, and manages to interweave the chapters and stories beautifully. However, I was disappointed that many of the subplots involving the families did not flesh out. In fact, several questions that were clearly meant to engage the reader were never answered. Picoult seems to rely more on the relational details of the two teenage characters, rather than developing a strong plotline.

But I still love you, Jodi!
