As a rape victim this was gross. If your gonna write something like this at least have the girls get in some sort of trouble for lying in court. Just leave actual victims a bad name. In my opinion

  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I liked this book. Jodi Picoult tends to have one too many good ideas in a given book. Rape. Ok. Rape and crazy lady that pretends her daugther is alive. Better. Rape and crazy lady AND witches....must be a Picoult book. While sometimes this doesn't work for me, I found it intriguing in this book.

An unsettling subject matter, especially now 23 years on, but nevertheless a thrilling read that I basically read in a day

Jodi Picoult books are always interesting and dig into a lot of tough issues. I really liked this one, and thought she dealt with rape well. I felt like there were several underdeveloped storylines (or maybe there were just too many to go into all of them) and there were a few characters that weren't given much attention. I know that some of these characters are in other Picoult books, so I'm looking forward to reading those.

Overall, this is an easy but thought-provoking read. Definitely worth the time.
