A review by izywithonez
House Rules by Jodi Picoult

3.0

As much as I love Jodi Picoult, the endings always feel like a cop-out. I hate how it’s the plot twist of the century but no elaboration on it or how it affects the characters. We have no idea what happened to Jacob, or Theo, or their family, and it’s a little bit frustrating. I guess it’s just the style in which she writes, but it bothers me. However, I also felt like the book was great. Theo’s perspective was incredibly interesting, and his conflicting emotions about his brother felt so realistic. I would’ve like to hear more from Emma and less from Rich, however.
