A review by jellokites
Mercy by Jodi Picoult

3.0

If I could rate this a 3.5 I would, but did not feel it was a 4. I liked it but did not love it, and for being one of my favorite authors, I was surprised. But maybe since this was one of her earlier books (this was published in 1996, and the earliest book I read was 1999) it took a bit to get her style down.
I guess I was very disappointed by the decision that Cam made to spend time with Mia. Although I am glad Mia did end up leaving so that Allie and Cam could reconcile their relationship.
As for Jaime killing his wife, I can understand why he did it, but to me, it still does not make things right, as sad as the situation was.
There was reference in the book towards the end that someone "close" was going to die. So then I was trying to figure out who, when it turned out to be Angus, and I was thinking a more central character.
It took me awhile to get into the book, but I did enjoy it for the most part.
