I don't think I have to go on about how much I love Jodi Picoult books, just read some of my other reviews of her books for the full lecture lol. Its been a while since I read this book, but I remember jsut how much I enjoyed it, or maybe not always enjoyed, as it made my cry more than once! But so beautifully written, and as all her books, has a jaw dropping development just in the final pages. 
 Please please read her books becaause they are absolutely amazing, and they're not fantasy either, but real down to life things that are especially startling because they could so easily happen to us. 
 Read some of my other Jodi Picoults reviews, eg. for the pact, and hopefully they will be enough for you to try some of these books! 
 Sooo good! (and watch the movie too it'll make you bawl you eyes out!)
