It seems that I really enjoy only every-other-one of her books. And since I really enjoyed _Change of Heart_... well, I didn't hate this one - I read it in one sitting, after all, but I certainly didn't love it. The formula for this one was her standard... though to be more specific, it strictly followed the formula of _My Sister's Keeper_ - right down to the emotionally manipulative ending. The ending "twist" that I thought worked in _My Sister's Keeper_ came off completely unwarranted here. It just didn't work, and in my opinion, ruined the whole book. And the money... why wasn't that donated? How selfish can they be! You Can't Take It With You....
The resolution just ruined the whole book. And how many times was the phrase "Catch-22" used?? The ending just infuriated me. Although, if the pattern continues, I am sure that I will love next year's book.
One other thing that bothered me throughout was that this book felt a little... crammed... with issues.
