Jodi Picoult is my favorite author, but this one just didn’t hit the mark for me. It was beautifully written and had a cast of well-rounded, flawed characters. But I don’t feel like the main character learned much at all at the end. And after a horrific plane crash in the first six pages, I expected the pace of the book to be a bit faster. It slowed down considerably. I’m glad I read it, but likely wouldn’t recommend it to someone unless they already like Picoult’s novels.
