My rating: 5 of 5 starsThere's not much you can share in a review about this book without giving away the story. This is a heart-aching story about a controversial topic and the struggle one family goes through.
Throughout the book you can feel the emotions of everyone involved in the story whether you liked the character or not -- they came to life and made you look at the situation as if you were walking in their shoes. Picoult did an amazing job at showing you the situation from every angle and wrote every character very well.
The ending was a huge shocker for me. But I could understand where Picoult was coming from when she wrote it. This was sadly the only way to end this story to give us all a good lesson. Sometimes we live in the "What Ifs" and days, months and years fly by us without us even realizing it. We tend to find ourselves living more on rainy days and waiting for sunshine instead of jumping in the puddles and enjoying the little things. That is what the ending was trying to show us...it's not until we lose what's really important in life that we change our ways and realize what blessings we truly have.
