Let’s just start off by saying that Jodi Picoult isn’t my favorite author, but sometimes she makes you think, and sometimes, she can put both sides of an argument on the table in a narrative form that can be somewhat entertaining.

The actual main character (Anna) is the same, and some of the peripheral characters are too, but it’s a very different story. Anna starts out in the lower ranks of of the […]
