Let me start by saying that I read this book because Daughter's Keeper, one of her others, is one of my very favorite books. I feel that Ayelet Waldman is a good author, one who is very technically proficient in writing, and who is clearly quite intelligent. This book though just really didn't do much for me. I found the main character Emilia to be whiny, annoying and self-indulgent throughout the majority of the book. I felt that nothing really happened, the book didn't seem to progress AT ALL until maybe the last 20 pages. It was an easy read and certainly better than many others out there, I just felt that there was no growth, no progress, until the very very end. All in all, mediocre.
