Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult
5.0
Sing You Home deals with a lot of issues. The stupidity of the extreme Christian right, suicide, miscarriage, fertility, and finding one sexuality.
And I love it. Zoe and Max have been trying to conceive. For years they have been at it, going as far as IVF a few times. But after a stillborn, Max had enough even though Ze wants to go through it one more time. The marriage dissolves and both try to pick up the pieces till Zoe falls in love with a woman named Venessa. That’s when the two decide to use the frozen embryos to have the child so prized. That’s when the issues come up Max wants the embryos for his brother because of how he is now some fanatic who believes LGBT shouldn’t have children.
The characters are memorable. They are well developed and interesting. My favorite is Zoe because of how she finds out who she is at a later stage in life. That she could be open to her internal feelings. I do which the ending could have been fleshed out little more. I could have easily read another 50 or 100 pages if it meant a better ending. It just felt a little bit rushed
