This is one of Jodi's earlier books; it's good but it doesn't have the courtroom drama that I've come to love in her more recent books. In the end I found myself disagreeing with Nicholas and hoping the end turned out happy.

Not my most favourite Jodi Picoult novel. It wasn't even a bad story. It just seemed so anti-climactic in comparison to all her more recent novels. I also found most of the characters unlikeable and unredeemable.
