Picoult is a new author to me- in fact i stumbled upon her on this site, looking for new summer reads. & what a compelling author!
this book is about a suicide/homicide involving two teens and their families. it shows very realistic reactions and tells a very thorough story. you don't read about these characters- you very vividly get to walk in their shoes and get to experience something most of us probably haven't. this book broke my heart a few times, and i kept wanting to jump in the book and just fix things.
initially upon completion of this book, i kept trying to figure out whose 'love story' this was, and i think i realized it's not a 'love story' but rather a 'story of love'. and not in the classical boy & girl way but rather the love in families- from the children to spouse and the friends that blur the line of kinship and platonic.
