skoeller03 's review for:
Plain Truth
by Jodi Picoult
I really loved this book, I think that Jodi is becoming one of my favorite authors. She has such a beautiful way of writing unique stories, stories that are so deeply touching and profound and yet heartbreaking at the same time.
I think for me, my only criticism would be the ending. I knew very early on that Katie didn’t kill her baby. I think for me, a more touching ending would have been to see Aaron have done it—having lost one child already secretly unwilling to lose another despite his outward appearance of being cold and unwilling to budge and move in his religious convictions. To be, having Sarah having done it wasn’t surprising at all. There’s nothing shocking about what a mother would do to protect her child.
But overall, the book was so well written, and as someone who knew next to nothing about the Amish way of life, it was interesting to learn more about their culture and way of life for sure.
