Jodi Picoult is best known for the controversy in her books and this one does not disappoint.

Mercy explores love dynamics between various couples on the backdrop of a court case where a man has killed his dying wife as an act of mercy. 

You'll be both wrapped up in the relationship dynamics between the characters while also thinking about your own relationship. Would you kill your spouse if they asked? Could you forgive your spouse if they cheated? 

Jodi wraps it all up in a neat bow with the final verdict.

I enjoyed this, I just wish it had focused more on the death/court case

and less on the infidelity
