A review by trishagreenie
Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult
3.0
I was looking forward to this book being over. Finally this morning I finished it. I usually really like Jodi Picoult's books, but this one was different. I can understand (in a way) Nina Frost's motivation in killing the person she thinks has hurt her child. Though I must qualify that and say I don't have a child of my own. However, Nina annoyed the shit out of me for most of the book.
She was so arrogant, self-centred and 'look at me everyone!' that it drove me nuts. Patrick also annoyed me for thinking she was 'a goddess' when she was actually a self-absorbed know-it-all. I was disappointed with the way it ended - how she got off scott free for murdering an innocent man. I almost hoped that at the end, the dead priest's mum would come and murder Nina in retribution, for what she had done - and for not getting punished.
So that's what I thought of that book.
Maybe I'm being unfair...but it's how I felt. I kept rolling my eyes and saying, "For fuck's sake!" every time Nina did some other "I know best" thing, and everybody else in the book loved her and admired her for all the annoying things she did.
