Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult

4.0

---

I'm going to start by saying that I've read too many Jodi Picoult novels. This is not a bad thing...I love her. However, when I first started reading this one I seriously had to question myself as to whether I had read it before...turns out, no. I love her writing, but a lot of the plot lines from her different books seem to interweave - either with characters or events. As with a lot of her books, I thought I had the whole thing figured out a quarter of a way through the book and started wondering how in the world she would keep the plot going for another 3/4 of a book. I should know better. Picoult has a knack for taking wild turns that can completely catch you off guard. She sets them up beautifully and very, very rarely do they seem far fetched. In this case, I was stopped in my tracks and have to admit that I did a little mental bowing to her mastery. The thing I like best about her novels is how easily I get sucked in. They are always a quick read for me...I don't think I've ever spent more than 2-3 days finishing one...I just can't stop once I've started. Though this one is not my absolute favorite, it is certainly worth the read.
