For career-driven assistant district attorney Nina Frost, the question inspires pangs of guilt familiar to all parents torn by the demands of home and office. But whereas most parents lie awake at night vividly conjuring the worst scenarios that could befall their children in their absence, Nina lives the reality of such crises -- and it's her job to do something about them. Nina Frost prosecutes child molesters -- and in the course of her everyday work, she has endured the frustration of seeing too many criminals slip through the system and walk free. A man as methodical and careful as his wife is instinctive and mercurial, Caleb Frost is a stonemason who glories in his ability to construct with his own hands the physical barriers that will keep out the unwanted -- and protect all that is precious within. But even the strongest walls cannot guard Nina and Caleb from the shattering discovery that their own beloved son has been sexually abused.

Five-year-old Nathaniel is the only one who knows the identity of his assailant -- but in the initial fallout of his trauma, he's been left mute, unable to speak a single word. Knowing the futility of trusting the courts to exact justice for Nathaniel, and ripped apart by a maddening sense of helplessness, Nina finds herself in a grip of rage she can't deny -- no matter the consequence, whatever the sacrifice. What does it take to be a good mother? How far can a person go...and still live with herself? What happens if one's absolute truths and convictions are turned upside down?

Forging new ground in her unique territory of morally complex suspense fiction, bestselling author Jodi Picoult delivers her most soulful and intimate novel to date -- and portrays what happens to a family when a wheel comes off, when the domestic unit begins to careen and veer, when the vestments of ordinary life are forfeited to unspeakable horrors. From its provocative opening to the astonishing and revelatory finale, Perfect Match enters the raw and private realm of a parent's heart, and ultimately questions our assumptions about family, security, and love.(less)

Got this in Costa Rica because there was nothing else remotely decent and figured that I'd enjoyed Sister's Keeper enough. However, was let down and just felt that this was hastily written and overly complicated. Plus, explored pretty much the same themes as before and did not do as good a job at exploring the shades of grey. Found myself more annoyed with the mother than anything else and not especially caring about the outcome...next!

Nina Frost, a district attorney, a wife, a friend, and above all a mother.

When her 5-year-old son has been sexually molested she took the law in her own hands because she knew the system won’t protect her son. She knew the justice system very much. She’d seen and dealt with cases of sexual assault, she knew how it traumatized children and how it would imprison convict for few years and sometimes no conviction at all. She took the law in her own hands. She shot the suspect, Father Glen Szyszynski, four times, inside the court, in front of so many witnesses, in front of the judge, in front of the cameras.

Her case was handled by Fisher Carrington, they plead not guilty by reason of insanity. Though she’d planned it all. She knew what it takes to be declared legally insane, she knew what to say, she knew what to do.

But in the middle of the case, she’d known she was mistaken. She killed an innocent and pious man, who had fought and won over cancer.

Before her son became temporarily unable to speak because of the incident, he couldn’t properly pronounce letters “r” and “l”. He both makes “w” sounds for letters “r” and “l”. So when he told Patrick who the abuser was, Patrick was mistaken of his speech. He told him Father Gwen, Patrick interpreted it as Father Glen. (Patrick is the detective in-charge of her son’s case. Nina’s friend who is deeply in love with her.)

Father Szyszynski didn’t do it. He didn’t abuse her son. It was Father Arthur Gwynne. Father Szyszynski’s half-brother. The molester was still alive…

What do you think? Will she do it all over again? to kill for her son? Or will Patrick do it for her? Where is Caleb, the father of Nathaniel, all this time? Will he be calm and quiet till the end? that you have to find out.

This is the first book written by Jodi Picoult I have read though I have seen the movie "My sister's keeper". I like this book. The story isn't predictable. DNA result shows that the semen stain and Father Glen’s blood are indistinguishable from each other yet he wasn’t the molester. How’s that? that i found so interesting. And the ending? it's a twist (But I am not referring to the court’s decision. I sympathize for what happened to her and her family however, even for whatever reasons, I believe that what she did is murder. She murdered the priest. If I say that what she did is acceptable then it is more acceptable to kill her (by Father Glen's relatives) because she killed an innocent man. It will make a cycle of killing. A wrongful act can not be corrected by another wrongful act.)

But still, I enjoyed reading it and would love to purchase more of her books.

Shelves: chicklit, own

Nearly all of Picoult's books present a moral dillema without a clear way to work your way out of. This book deals with a young boy who is sexually molested, and his mother's vigilante response to the situation.

I first expected the court drama to revolve around the molestation trial, but it very quickly becomes a moot point and shifts instead to the mother. Picoult, as usual, brings in a scientific twist - this time with DNA testing - that is usually something fairly educational.

I read this entire book in one night - no easy feat at over 400 pages, but it was so engrossing that I couldn't put it down. Picoult does such an incredible amount of research for every one of her books that, even if you don't like the story, you are guarenteed to come away with knowledge that could help you win "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". Reading too many Picoult books can get kind of annoying, as they all follow the same basic formula - even though the end is supposed to surprise you, aft...more

My all time favorite Jodi Picoult books. It took me a long time to open a JP book simply because the subject matter she chooses makes me squirmy. I felt the same way about this one. Most of us don't want to read a book about such an uncomfortable subject. The molestation is only a small part of the book, it is just the catalyst. The story grabs you within the first few chapters and refuses to let go. JP takes us a roller coaster of emotions and twists of events that continue until the end. One o...more

I wasn't sure I'd like the book as it was about a young boy being molested by a priest. I have a hard time reading about such topics. It turned out to be a fast read though.

Picoult has such a gift for allowing the reader to see things from the perspective of all the main characters. I love that. The only thing that was a bit disconcerting to me was the fact that the mother never was sent to jail for killing the priest she thought had molested her son. I honestly felt she deserved to go to jail....more

Not bad as far as page-turners go. The plot is adequately gripping, but kind of overdone. Picoult's style is starting to get a little predictable (1. crime, 2. big long court scene, 3. jury's decision), but apparently this is not stopping me from continuing to read her books.

In addition to her somewhat tired pattern, this particular topic seemed kind of trite, too. A priest as the child molester? You don't say! Granted, this book was written a few years ago -- perhaps back when this kind of thin...more

This book was well written and page-turning with a masterful plot. Picoult developed each character with suspense. However I was irritated with the main character, Nina...she was selfish and I often wanted to kick her. In this book I admired Attorney Fisher Carrington who seemed to be the only one exemplifying healthy relationships. He was a servant and savior. I wanted to give all the others therapy.

Shelves: fiction

Jodi Picoult is one of those authors who writes a great book, but just does not seem capable of writing a good ending. She always has a need to add an entirely unnecessary twist that usually is implausible, too sacharine, or just plain unnecessary. This book is another case in point. I won't divulge the ending, so as not to spoil if or anyone, but it was incredibly unnecessary, and disappointing. That being said, the story up to that point was fantastic if not a bit heartbreaking.

If you were a mother, knowing the law could not protect your son, would you take the law in your own hands? It's not a question I think anybody can answer before they're actually in that mother's shoes.

It is not often that I find myself unable to rate a book, but this is one of those cases. "Perfect Match" is a heart-wrenching roller-coaster ride of a read. Amazingly written, and horribly depressing. I would probably rate it quite high (4 stars... maybe even 5) if it wasn't for the fact that it...more

This is my absolute favourite Jodi Picoult book.

Although many of Jodi's books have a 'shock' factor somewhere, that's partly why I love her writing, this was twist and turns all of the way through. The characters were so well developed and you could completely understand even when they behaved so erratically. It's a tr...more

Had I realized this the day I picked up this book off of the community bookshelf at my allergy specialist office, it never would have made it home to my bookshelf, where it sat untouched for months. It wasn't until this past Friday morning I was in a rush to get out the door for our 7+ hr drive to Idaho and I realized I had forgotten to charge my Kindle the night before, that I remembered I had this book. I grabbed it without thought, and out the door we went. It wasn't until we were passed the point of no return, the point where everyone is finally settled and you finally have a few minutes to yourself, it was then that I finally turned this book over and read the back cover.
My heart stopped and I got that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. This was every moms worst nightmare and it was the last thing in the world I wanted to read. I realized then that I had two choices, either I stared out the window and watch the boring scenery I had seen so many times before, or I read the impossible. I decided then that the moment this book became too uncomfortable, it was going out the window and I was teaching my girls the song I sang as a child so many times along this long and boring road. It was then that I said a silent prayer to God thanking him for such wonderful and patience parents, as we sang as loudly and proudly as we could from the back seat of their jeep, "Ninety nine bottles of beer on the wall, Ninety nine bottles of beer...."
So, as you can imagine, I was surprised more than anyone what a page turner this book turned out to be. Knowing how hard of a read this book was going to be, I knew I had to choose my time wisely, and I'm so very thankful I did! Because I was bawling my eyes out as I came to the end of this book, and I was still sniffling as I read the last words and realized... I too am just like Nina Frost! (less)

Sejak jaman dahulu kala hingga melampaui masa milenium, manusia hidup dalam berbagai tatanan serta aturan norma-norma kehidupan, yang membatasi dan memberikan pedoman tentang apa yang boleh dilakukan dan hal yang harus dihindari. Jika mereka melanggar aturan-aturan tersebut, maka mereka akan masuk dalam kategori ‘pelanggar hukum’ yang akan dijatuhi ‘vonis-bersalah’ dan wajib menjalani hukuman yang telah ditetapkan. Seiring dengan perkembangan waktu, peraturan hukum serta perundang-undangan semakin bertambah, dibuat dan diterapkan demi keadilan serta menjaga hak-hak serta kewajiban manusia. Meski demikian, manusia juga berkembang, semakin pandai dalam mencari berbagai celah guna menyelewengkan hukum yang berlaku demi keuntungan pribadi. Hukum serta keadilan bagai sebuah mata uang logam yang memiliki dua sisi, hitam dan putih yang hampir tidak dapat dibedakan satu sama lainnya.

Kisah ini tentang sepasang anak manusia yang berusaha mencari kebenaran serta keadilan dalam tatanan kehidupan manusia yang beradab. Namun akhlak serta hati nurani menjadi sesuatu yang sulit ditentukan kebenarannya, terutama ketika masing-masing pihak memiliki persepsi pribadi yang berbeda. Caleb dan Nina Frost adalah contoh keluarga yang harmonis dan bahagia. Caleb menjalani hidup sebagai suami, ayah dan pekerjaannya di bidang perajin batu. Sedangkan Nina yang aktif dan lincah, cukup mampu membagi waktunya sebagai istri serta ibu bagi Nathaniel, sekaligus sebagai Nina Frost – asisten jaksa yang gigih memperjuangkan keadilan bagi anak-anak yang mengalami kasus pelecehan seksual serta teraniaya. Kehidupan mereka merupakan salah satu hal yang menjadi bahan perbincangan serta rasa iri pasangan lain. Hingga pada suatu, sebuah badai muncul secara tiba-tiba yang mengguncang keseluruhan kenyamanan dan keamanan kehidupan yang mereka jalani.

Nathaniel Frost – bocah berusia lima tahun, sebuah mukjijat yang dihantarkan kepada pasangan Frost, mengingat sejarah kesehatan Nina yang tidak memungkinkan dirinya hamil, telah hadir membawa keceriaan tersendiri bagi keluarga serta semua kenalan mereka. Namun suatu pagi, bocah yang lincah, ceria dan penuh semangat, berubah hampir 180 derajat. Tidak mau berbicara, pendiam, menutup diri, mendadak mengompol di usia lima tahun, dan melakukan aksi perusakan serta kekerasan terhadap teman-teman di sekitarnya. Dokter keluarga tidak mampu mendeteksi penyakit tertentu, hingga Nathaniel dibawa kepada seorang psikiater, dan vonis yang keluar mengguncang Caleb serta Nina : Nathaniel adalah korban pelecehan seksual dan mengalami trauma cukup berat.
