kyliea32's review against another edition
4.0
Another interesting and thought provoking read that in a sense had two common themes to it connected to the word of love. One is about how far you would go for someone you loved and the great lengths you would show that. The other theme in love is about faithfulness and staying true. An insightful Jodi Picoult read for anyone looking to explore these ideas themselves.

This book was not as interesting as the other two Jodi Picoult books I have read so far. The storyline had a lot of potential but it just didn't seem to go anywhere. I found the characters obnoxious and whiny. There was also no dramatic turn of events at the end of the book, which apparently is quite common with her books. I am now onto another book as I just read 3 Picoult books in a row...

Under developed characters. A plot that not do it for me.

Absolutely HATED this book! I usually find a few things I like about a story and highlight them for a review but this one has nothing for me to recommend, at all. Truly. I hated the characters, the style of writing, and the storyline-that-never-was. This is supposed to be a book about assistated suicide but 99% of it seemed to be about arranging flowers and a sickening adulterous affair between a husband and his wife's co-worker/stranger-who-has-no-allegiance-to-her-friend-or-sense-of-decency-or-morals. I hated the hoebag Mia, the unresolved marital issues, the lack of backbone in Allie and her mother-in-law Ellen, the lying-cheating-scumbag husband Cameron.... just a book filled with nothing but frustration and anger.
