This was definitely an emotional read. I was hooked from the first page to the last. I love turning over moral quandries in my mind, and there were plenty to go around in this book. She did a great job of representing the thoughts and feelings of each family member. I really enjoyed this book a lot.

Jodi was able to talk about really difficult topics with grace and without causing discomfort. The plot was a little too 'lifetime movie'-esque for my usual taste but still a good book. Wish we got more of an ending.
