It was not my favorite Picoult book, but it reminded me of how much I enjoy her as a writer. I hadn't read one of her books in over a year, so reading this one was a nice reminder. As for the book itself, it was an intriguing topic--I enjoyed the ending, too. She never ties anything up with a neat little bow, and I like that about her.
I found this one to be a really exciting read. It had me on the edge of my seat wondering what the ultimate outcome would be. Sort of an interesting premise but since it’s another Jodi Piccoult novel it did pretty much follow a predictable formula.
Sort of corny in that it has a lot of stereotypical romance that appeals to women but the best part was how human a lot of the characters are in terms of their insecurities and lack of confidence every once in a while. Everyone has felt like they're not enough at one point or another and this book is very understanding of that.

I LOVE Jodi Picoult, but this book took me longer to read than any of her other books! I don't know if it's just because I haven't had much time for reading lately, or it's just not one of her best....That said, I still pretty much liked the book.
An interesting commentary on motherly love and how it corresponds with faith and religion. Jodi Picoult writes page turners. Read it on my BWCA camping trip.

I found this quite fascinating, considering my religious beliefs (or lack there of). What was fascinating was the parallels in what is taught by the church and the bible and how people tend to perceive it. Would not really recommend, unless you are a Jodi Picoult fan
I love all things Jodi Picoult! This wasn't my favorite of hers (19 Minutes is) but I liked it all the same. Very quick read, kept my attention. She's great!
