Opinion: I became engrossed in this story, obsessed with finishing it in order to find out what really happened. I have it on my kindle, but in order to finish it I also grabbed the library's hard copy to read if I had a chance. It's a great story, it's thought provoking, it will leave you thinking in order to find out what really happened to Jess. Picoult is a formulaic writer, but I appreciate her formulas, I don't tire of them as I have long since tired of Patterson's work. In her book you know you will always find a trial to fascinate you, some scenario that shall cause the trial to take place, and most of the time you'll also find a love story. She always manages to take these three elements and grip me as a reader anyway. I'm never disappointed after reading one of her works.
