Jodi always writes with lots of twists and turns!

Never read any of her books that haven't been real page turners.

This one made me cry a bit as it is a sad story but realistic too! Especially for a fictional book!

I enjoyed the story development but found Jodi Picoult to have an obvious plot development similar to My Sister's Keeper. I was definitely emotionally attached to characters and their struggle but did not feel content in understanding Emily's reasonings or why Chris would commit the crime.

Really good book. I can definitely imagine this being a movie. Like a 90s/early 2000s murder mystery movie, which are my favorites. I just wish someone other than Emily would’ve known about her trauma.
