I struggled a bit with this book, both to get into it and to accept certain parts of it. I was able to call plot points before they happened: Beatriz being gay, Diane cheating on Finn although I didn't see the big twist coming. It was also hard to sympathize with Diane at places, though cool to look back through the first part knowing what happens in the second. Not a favorite of Picoult's work but not the worst either
Graphic: Death, Death of parent, and Pandemic/Epidemic
Moderate: Self harm
