I stayed up way too late last night finishing this book and I have so many thoughts…
Here is my (SPOILER FREE!) review straight from my YouTube channel:
**And and always, a very special shout out to YouTube for always capturing the most beautiful images of me for my video thumbnails, lol…**
Did you read this book? What did you think? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Local friends, I run a storytime every Tuesday and Friday at Whimsy Cafe in Buffalo Grove, Illinois from 10:00-10:30! Bring your kids (6 months-5 years) for stories, songs, and lots of fun. Price is included in your child’s admission, no need to sign up. If you are a blog reader, please be sure to introduce yourself! I can’t wait to meet you and your little ones. 🙂
Plain Truth is the Amish one. Songs of the Humpback Whale is also told backwards, but is not about a court case. You MUST read The Storyteller. One of the best Holocaust books! Just not during Passover because they talk about bread a lot. 🙂 I didn’t like Mercy and 10th Circle all that much. Some of her earlier books were also a bit slow. I love Second Glance. That one is incredible. Leaving Time has a similar feel to it. Keeping Faith is really good, even though it does involve a court case. I agree with you on The Pact. That was my first Jodi Picoult book. 🙂

I loved your video. Especially your kids interrupting. I know that feeling SO well! 🙂
Have a nice Passover.

Plain Truth is the Amish one and it was one of the first Picoult books I read and I really enjoyed it. The Storyteller is brilliant and I really loved 19 Minutes too.
I finished ASpark of Light yesterday. I liked it but think I would have preffered it if it wasn’t written backwards. And I agree with the too many characters and got confused between Joy and Janine too. (Glad i wasn’t the only one). Even though it was good I dont think I’d recommend it to friends to read unlike some of Jodi’s other books.

I also mixed up Joy and Janine a lot.

1. Thank you so much for your suggestions 🙂 2. YES Plain Truth! 3. Why would she choose 2 main characters with the same first initial ESPECIALLY when there were SO many characters to keep track of? I always think this about reality shows, too. Why have 2 girls on the same season of the Bachelor with the same name?!?
