Jodi Picoult is always an emotion-evoking writer, and this one was no different. It was about a school shooting and the aftermath. Overall, it was a book that I couldn't put down. The only part that disappointed me was the "twist" at the end, when the girl admitted that she shot her boyfriend. It seemed unbelievable to me, even though Picoult had incorporated some (weak) attempts to make the boyfriend seem like a jerk. Also, the surprise "main character admits to murder on the stand without the knowledge of his or her lawyer" was something that Picoult had used in The Pact, so it was considerably less impressive than it was the first time. It was a good read, but not my favorite of her novels.
