I'm glad I went into this novel completely unaware of the plot. I ripped through it in a night, it was very compelling! Very interesting that one characters story was told backwards while the plot of the book moved forwards. A unique touch that helped contextualize the whole novel. Time to read more Jennifer Finney Boylan! As always, love how Picoult navigates and personalizes hot button issues.

Sweet, poignant, gripping. I found this book much more compelling than I expected. Definitely would recommend. Beautifully written and many bee facts, which I loved.
