Picoult has an amazing ability to pull you out of you box, make you think outside the lines, she forces you to question what you really believe you would do. I love it. She is an amazing writer.

Love all her books! I'd actually give this one 3.5 stars. Her other ones I've read were a little better.
Jodi Picoult's books are one of my guilty secrets - I simply can't resist them, like a dark chocolate truffle, every now and again. This one was slightly disappointing, sometimes it seemed to be more about the two adults getting together, but it offered, as ever, a multi-viewpoint exploration of a difficult subject.
I loved this book. It's pretty rare that a book affects me to the point of reducing me to tears, but this is the second Jodi Piccoult book to do this to me (the first being My Sister's Keeper). For me it was never an issue about whether what was happening to Faith was real, it was how her mother, Mariah, dealt with what was happening. I am a mother of 2 kids who suffered post-natal depression, and still have feelings of inadequacy from time to time over my parenting skills, so I related to the struggles Mariah was going through. Mental illness is such a misunderstood issue in today's society, and I think that Jodi has written about this subject with care & compassion.

Jodi Picoult was recommended to me by a friend's daughter. I chose Keeping Faith simply because I came across it at a used book shop. I don't read a lot of fiction, but will be reading more of her work. Good tempo, engaging storyline, and well-structured.
This took me forever to read! I kept falling asleep, but I still love the way Jodi writes, just wasn’t for me
