Second Glance by Jodi Picoult

5.0

---

Absolutely fantastic. I have adored everything have I read by Jodi Picoult, and this book proved to be no different. With its strong characters and absolutely fascinating story I was sucked in. The beginning was harder to get into with how many different perspectives there were and how quickly they transitioned into one another with no visible link (yet), it was a slow start, but quickly picked up pace. The ultimate realization of Ross' car crash that happened before the reader is even introduced to the story ultimately ties everything together in such a beautiful and moving way that I will always remember that particular passage in the book. Ross Wakeman is a strong and believable character, as are all of the others in this fantastic tale of love transcending time, but his losses are so palpable you can feel the bitterness he emanates in your own heart, and the peace he has found and is learning to accept at the end of the novel make it a tale to share with everyone you can.
