I had mixed feelings about this one.
I liked how it approached the topic of abortion from different angels, providing real knowledge and context stories. It also touched on the topic of race, but I felt that it could've been explored more.
However, the way the plot was being told backwards did not feel captivating enough. From the beginning you know how the story end with only one end left open until the last chapter. And with that one open end on my mind reading all the backstories felt like a chore. There were a couple of plot twists mixed in there, but I felt that they did not make up for the mostly “spoiled” ending.
All in all I think the back stories for the characters were well crafted, but the execution of the story was lacking.
Didn't like the way the book started from the end and was told backwards. Made it hard to connect with its characters.
3.5 stars. I can appreciate that Jodi Picoult always tackles a difficult topic but this wasn't one of my favorites of hers. I think a lot of it was because I struggled with it being written in reverse order.
this felt like someone was trying to convince me of something i already believe in for 352 pages
