This book has a great story line, begging you to try and see life through a bullied teen's eyes. Of course it's no excuse to do what he did, but Picoult likes to provoke us a bit. Maybe a few teens will read it and take some pity?? High school is a tough place for teens. I think as we become adults it is more acceptable to be different (or even that we are more accepting of ourselves).
I actually envisioned a different ending, considering Josie's abusive boyfriend. I DO wish Picoult would have tried to inspire teen victims of abuse to stand up for themselves and get help, though.
The first book I read by Picoult was My sisters keeper, which I loved for the story line but hated the roving 1st person point of view. Picture Perfect is the next book on my list!
