I began this book at 5:00pm and finished while applying my make-up the next morning. As in usual Jodi Piccoult fashion, this story involves delving into the deeper layers of family relationships after a cataclysmic event shakes them out of their daily grind.
The book involves a look into the love life of a 14 year old girl and the drama and heartache that naturally evolves. The natural evolution though is aborted when an event takes place that makes a father slip back into a past he has been trying his whole life to forget, a mother reveal a shameful secret and their teenage daughter whose decision ensures none of their lives will ever be the same again.
I would rate this book a 7 on a scale from 1-10. Jodi writes very well and she keeps the story moving but I feel she had a little bit too much detail in this book and though the ending was not as tragic as some of her other novels it was a little far fetched... in my opinion...just a little, not obnoxiously over the top just a little far-fetched. The characters were very likable and real and I became quickly invested in their stories.
On the whole, this book brings up some of the not so nice things about high school and teenagers, for some it may bring back some flash backs, but it was a worthy read and I would suggest it to any Bookie.
