This is the only book I have ever read that actually made me cry uncontrollably. It was one of those silent cries that you just can't stop and the tears pour like rain from your eyes. I'm not a cryer and this book changed that. This book is absolutely fabulous and extremely well written, making the book impossible to put down. The ending was out of left field, I never saw it coming; there is no way anyonee could predict what happens. I highly recommend this to Jodi Picoult fans and newbies alike. A must read.
