Another excellent book from Picoult. she is,my favorite author and never disappoints me. This book kept me thinking about the possible plot twists. I was surprised at the ending, which is always a bonus.
Read in 2011 What it's like to be different - and to watch the one person you thought understood what made you tick walk away for all the wrong reasons. Sometimes you don't get a do-over.

Picoult does a marvelous job of telling the story from various perspecti...

The narration of this story often changes so that the reader gets to hear the story from many different points of view, in...
Wow. Picoult really knows how to write a story with meat on its bones. This one grips the reader from the beginning, and it keeps you interested the whole time.
