"He kissed her so gently she wondered if she had imagined it."
"To say there had been a loss was ludicrous; one lost a shoe or a set of keys. You did not suffer the death of a child and say there was a loss. There was a catastrophe. A devestation. A hell."
"[He] closed his eyes. How could he convey to someone who'd never even met her the way she always smelled liek rain, or how his stomach knotted up every time he saw he shake loose her hair from its braid? How could he describe how it felt when s ...more

This was a wonderful and intensely emotional book. Jodi, yet again, master the art of taking difficult and debative issues in society and creating a story from it. My least favorite character in this book was Melanie, Emily's mother. I'm not gonna say why because it will spoil it for those who haven't read the book yet. But you will know it when you get to that part of the book. The epilogue broke my heart. :( Awesome book overall. My new favorite Picoult book.

This was the first book I ever read by Jodi Picoult. A teenage couple make a suicide pact but only the girl dies and the boy is put on trial. The kids grew up together as their parents are best friends so the book is also about the family's response. The only issue I had with the book was the fact that what the girl went through that supposedly lead to her being suicidal seemed kind of minor to me, but who am I to judge I guess.

This one is so sad. It started off with a tear jerking chapter and finsished off with the same. It shows a good portrayl of a young couples love and what great lengths one person will go to for the love of their life. I cried.
great author who brings controversial topics to the front and really makes you think, keeps you guessing until the last few pages, about two teenagers in love, the pressure surrounding being a teenager and choices we make
This was the first Jodi Picoult book I read, and its been several years so I thought I'd give it another go. So far, it's been just as engrossing as it was the first time!

This is the 2nd Jodi Picoult book I ever read and she didn't let me down. She has a very dark mind.
