If you haven't read a Jodi Picoult book before one of the things that makes her writing so lovely is the way she picks some real life topic and researches it to death so that you feel like you're simultaneously lost in a beautiful story and learning at the same time. I've read 20/21 of her novels (I haven't yet read her combined efforts or her graphic novel) and this is among my favorites.
