If you know this authors writing then you will figure out where this book is going from the beginning. I do not want to write a review that gives away the whole story so I am going to try to keep it vague. I did not read any reviews about this book and was so glad I didnt because I liked to be surprised about the subject.
As you start to read the book knowing the writer you already start to form ideas about what the book is about. I thought the book was going to be very close to me since it talked about infertility and I have many friends who have dealt with varying degrees of infertility. But then the book takes a turn, as soon as that turn came I knew where she was going with the book. It was like being on a wooden roller coaster. The beginning is on the way up the steep hill, then she hits you with what the book is about and you start twisting and turning till the end. Even though I knew where she was going I could not put the book down, I had to see what happens.
Some people will not like the book because of the subject matter. I have a very open mind and Picoult is fair to both sides of the story.
If you want to read her books in order:
Songs of the Humpback Whale
Harvesting the Heart
Picture Perfect
Mercy
The Pact
Keeping Faith
Plain Truth
Salem Falls
Perfect Match
Second Glance
My Sister's Keeper
Vanishing Acts
The Tenth Circle
Nineteen Minutes
Change of Hearts
Handle with Care
House Rules
Sing You Home
