Okay at the beginning I really thought I couldn’t do it, having a young daughter myself I just didn’t think I could make it through this book. I am so glad I did. This book was WOW. Shocking ending I truly wasn’t expecting.

I really enjoyed this book until the end, and I must say I'm quite disappointed. Somehow having Anna die at the end was a little too contrived and then her sister miraculously gets better. Sure it's a sudden twist in plot, but why put it in the last few pages of the story?

No me gustó que tuviera tantos puntos de vista diferentes. 7 puntos de vista y ni siquiera seguían la misma linea de tiempo la mayor parte del tiempo. Aún así, la historia me gustó mucho

I have mixed feelings about this book. It immediately drew me in. The topic is very interesting and thought provoking, no doubt. I read it quickly because I was very eager to find out what happened. However, the characters aren't incredibly likeable. They took turns narrating chapters, which is a nice format. But the thought processes of each character were very similar and almost too constantly "deep" and soap-opera-ish. I don't believe that an 11-year-old is as profound as a fifty-year-old mother and similar to an teenage male misfit. It was almost constantly too intense, if that makes any sense. The book is not bad, as I said, it's interesting. Everyone has mixed feelings about the ending and I thought it was just an okay one. This is the first book I've ever read by Picoult. Because I was so torn on my feelings for this one, I'll have to check out a few others before forming my opinion on her as an author.
