    <body><![CDATA[I loved this book!  It's the first book that I've read in a long time that I couldn't put down.  <br/>The depth of all of the main characters and the effects of the decisions that they made were the things that made this book so good for me.  It reinforces the idea that people are generally good, b...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/27575794">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Wow! I just finished The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes, and it was really good. At first, I wasn't sure I would like it...it seemed a bit slow setting the scene, and then I grew impatient waiting for the crime that I had figured out was going to happen. Things really clicked for me when CeeCee became...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41249950">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I flew through this book in about two days. It was a very fun and entertaining read. The author reminded me on Jodi Picoult, who I love. The story was about a woman who made a choice when she was 16 that changed her life forever. The writing was clear, and beautiful. Fun book! ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Anyone who got sucked into Jodi Piccoult with My Sister's Keeper and then became disappointed with one or more later of her books will find this book a welcome reprieve.  The author uses similar moral choice twisters but in a fresh way.  Great summer read!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Hands down one of(if not the) best book I have ever read. A true page turner from start to finish, I never wanted it to end and when it did all I wanted to do was read more. Finally found an author who is as good as Jodi Piccoult. Can't wait to read another one.]]></body>
