I recently finished this book. I have been borrowing Jodi Picoult books from people as often as I get the chance.

There's something so captivating about her books. I have only read a few, but I know I want to read more. I think that is the sign of a good author.

This one was about a family who has secrets and has some traumatic events occur. There's a little twist at the end, too.

This book had a bunch of drawings throughout the book. The father in the story draws comics and the mother teaches a course about Dante and Hell. The drawings sketch out another (mirroring) story before each chapter portraying the different levels of Hell. I thought it added a very interesting aspect to the book. I have read some criticism of these drawings on various websites, but I thought it was a good twist I hadn't seen in a book before.

Picoult really has a way of writing about topics that may be considered taboo to talk about. I think it's one of the things draws me to them so much. I don't want to say too much about the story. (You can read a synopsis online if you are interested…but it does give a lot away.)

So far, the books I have read by Picoult are easy reading (maybe because I don't want to put them down). If you haven't read anything by her before, I suggest that you do!
