Helpful Score: 3

I'm glad this was not my first encounter with Jodi Picoult because it would have been my last. I've read some of her other work and have always been impressed but not this time--I dragged myself through to the end. I found none of the characters to be endearing...the mother was childish, the teenage daughter too precocious, the husband/father a jerk, etc., etc. The relationship between Jane and her brother was somewhat unsettling to me. I wouldn't recommend this book to be your first step into the multi voiced novels of Picoult.
