This is my first book by Jodi Picoult. 
 I am about 65% read according to my ereader. This book is terribly written with dated language and such a forced attempt at "hot topics" and what the author perceives as controversial. It comes off as weak and unlikable. I could not care less what happens. I really hate this book! 
 It isn't very often that I won't at least finish a book, but his one, I just can't force myself to read one more page. Thanks but no thanks, I am done with this one.
