My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult

bookswithbeckie's review against another edition

3.0

⭐⭐⭐ / 5

I did really like this book but I found it really hard to get in to. This book switches from different characters and does her confusing. It has been beautifully written though and is such a heartrenching book.

I always forget how different the movie ending is vs the book ending. Honestly the book ending hits (no pun intended) sooooo much better

Would normally give this a 4.5 but it's the first book in a long time that made me actually cry. I do wish Jesse was a little more fleshed out but otherwise it's near perfect.

I literally threw the book across the room when I finished it. I was furious with the ending. I did not like this book or the storyline. I believe they've made it into a movie-no thank you. I do not recommend that you read this one.

Powerful and thought-provoking. Tries to answer "When is too much enough?" and "Can a parent love too much?" Flaws in storyline and character development - Jesse is incomplete, as is Campbell. And I think she villianizes the mother a bit too much. Still, the issues resulted in a good book discussion.
