A review by justlily
Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult

3.0

Thank goodness I was so into the plot of this one because wow, 400+ pages is a long way to go when you hate every single character. The man accused of assault? Hate him. His girlfriend? Hate her. The girl accusing him? Hate her too. All the side characters? Yup, them too. There wasn't a single moment in here where I liked or related to any of them, I found them all insufferable. For God's sake, who moves in with a single woman who has lost her child and that same night decides to take it upon themselves to clean out her dead daughter's bedroom without consent? I literally almost threw the book across the room.

Jodi Picoult is so hit and miss for me. I really did enjoy the pacing and plot of this story but the characters, my dudes. Just. No.
