Jodi Picoult's books are considered "realistic fiction" which can mean they are taking place in real time, in the year they are released because the book mentions current events, trends or technology in that time. Short answer 2016. LOL

I've only just begun the book but I would say it's present day because when she has a conversation with her sister she mentions people like Colin Powell, Beyoncé, and Cory Booker who are all relevant today.

Davis Bauer was born on October 2, 2015, so that's when the story starts.
