I came across this book on the library app, and it was my first Jodi Picoult novel.
I found the topic interesting especially with everything going on in the states right now around the topic of abortion.
This book brought out so many emotions in me and just solidified my personal views.
The writing style was quite clever with going backwards through time. As you read on you find out the back story for each person who happens to be in the clinic the day of the attack. Some of the stories are upsetting and can trigger people who may have personal negative experiences with rape, abuse etc..
Definitely worth a read!

I really enjoyed this! It did start off slow, but I got into it when I started to learn and care about the characters. I really liked the topics did and how they were discussed. I learned a lot. I do wish that this was told a different way. I wish it was from start to Finish not kind of the finish to the start and then the end.
