“This is my first book by this author and I loved it. It was one those books that tears you apart inside and then puts you back together. It makes you question your beliefs and discover what you really feel is right or wrong. It brings up so many things. There's so much going on in the book, you have to sit back and think after reading so many chapters just to process what's happening.”

“My one gripe with this book is the way it ended. I felt like it was unnecessary, and the book could have been just as satisfying without that.”

“This book is one of my favorites of Picoult's. It's really captivating, and I could relate to all the characters. I absolutely fell in love with Willow! I couldn't stop reading it - if it began to get boring, all of a sudden, something else would happen to keep me enthralled. I loved it! Picoult is so good at taking such large issues, and helping you see both sides - it's really amazing :D.”

“I would give it 3 and 1/2. I truly enjoyed it, until the end. Some parts were predicatable and unnecessary, but others were thought provoking. I do believe Picoult is becoming a bit formulaic, BUT I have to admit, I will still read her books. Not her best, but not her worst. I would still recommned reading it. ”

Disappointing to think Jodi Picoult is following a formula. I have really enjoyed her other books and hope she turns out some original stuff in the future.”“I think this was a mediocre attempt by Picoult to recreate the magic of “My Sister’s Keeper.” As always, she did a good job of giving you perspective of both sides of a difficult issue. I looked forward to the ending, as I do with all of her books, but was really disappointed with this one. Again, I felt it was too similar to “My Sister’s Keeper,” but it didn’t shock me so much as aggravate me!”
