I thoroughly enjoyed Picoult’s writing and character/plot development. It really placed me into the story. The main characters were complex and challenging. The ultimate storyline kept me engaged and thinking all throughout.
The two things that keep it from being more highly rated for me was that the pace was slow and the final reveal at the end was entirely unnecessary and kind of ruined the intrigue of the book for me. It was definitely something that didn’t need answering and I think would have been better kept for the readers to answer on their own without handholding from the author.
