Another Heart Wrenching book by Jodi Picoult.She Sure knows how to pull on your heart strings.I couldnt put this book down.It was a fast Read.I hated the Mom Charlotte for sueing her friend Piper after she realized her daughter Willow would never lead a normal life and would need lots of money to care for her as she grew older.I Thought the father Sean was more realistic and cared more about his daughter than the money.I can see why Charlotte and Seans marriage was on the rocks.I felt really bad for their daughter Amelia who was cutting herself and throwing up after eating. I can see now what happens when you ingore a child because you have to attend to your other child who needs more attention.If Charlott wasnt so busy sueing her friend Piper she would have seen what was going on.
I felt bad for the lawyer Marian who was trying to find her biological mother.When Marian found her mother she realized her mother never wanted her because of a rape.Another sad twist in the story.I really didnt see the end comming or maybe I did.Im not going to spoil it for you all let you read the book to find out.I thought the receipes were okay through out the book.I did notice she threw in things she felt in the receipes at the top.I liked how she switched between each character to let them tell their story.I wish Willow could have had a part in the story I would have loved to see how she felt,and about her mother suing her friend piper.I would recommend reading this book. I see why I am such a fan of Jodi Picoult.I am looking forward to her next book.
