This was one of my lesser favorite novels by Jodi Picoult. I seem to enjoy her tales when they are told in different voices. This was told by Cassie and Alex but not in the normal manner of Picoult. She even threw in the occasional voice of Will, the half white Lakota Indian.
The controversial topic was two fold: white in an Indian society and spousal abuse. I know it sounds like an odd combination but somehow the story was weaved in such a manner that it worked. It was interesting to learn abou ...more

With so many bad reviews of this book, I feel so pessimistic when I started reading it. But I tried to set aside my judgments and read it anyway.

This one fell into my love of Hollywood - it's about an anthropolgist who marries an actor, but there's much more to it than that. I'll leave it to you to find out, but you find out in bits and pieces the background story.

No court room drama here, just good writing. Although the typical Jodi amnesia storyline is still there, I liked this book and love that Jodi writes about real life issues.
Not my favorite Picoult novel. It was very far-fetched and hard to follow. The change in narrator was confusing.
