Review
'A riveting, unfailingly intelligent, and undeniably literary psychological drama.' -- Booklist 'Picoult writes with an all-knowing and piercing eye.' -- Library Journal 'Picoult has an uncanny knack of dreaming up moral dilemmas that you cannot ignore: you must know the resolution' -- Sunday Express 'Jodi Picoult's novels often focus on lives turned upside down by some terrible event, and it's her way with the small emotional detail that makes them so rewarding' -- Marie Claire

This is not a good Jodi book. Story was very predictable and I would not recommed it all. Rather try another Jodi if you do like her books.

Jodi's Worst

This is definately Jodi Picoult's worst book. It is a real Mills&Boon romance with none of the characteristic twist in the plot of Jodi. Read any of her other books instead
