I was engrossed in every bit of this novel… my first pandemic book. About halfway through, I said to myself, “this is too soon.” However, in typical Jodi Picoult fashion, she took the story to a level above what you’d expect. The author’s note at the end cemented why Jodi is one of the best there is and why her books always resonate so deeply. And I understand why this book needed to arrive now.
