Songs of the Humpback Whale by Jodi Picoult
1.0

This is one of Picoult's first novels, so maybe she hadn't hit her stride yet. I found myself skimming a lot of this book...not a good sign. I didn't care about the characters, because I didn't really like them. The ones that I thought I might like, weren't really developed enough.

Here's the spoiler part: The only reason I kept skimming was that I couldn't believe Hadley just fell. I felt like that was just a lame plot addition to wrap things up. And I was in disbelief that Jane went back to Oliver. I was not convinced that he had really changed at all. (Although I felt sorry for Jane, I didn't like either of them.)
