My sister's keeper

My first ever Jodi Picoult book which I loved at first read. But looking back, the mother was a jerk and I felt sorry for Anna. I didn't appreciate the author's attempts to justify the mother's actions. But overall, the character relationships were developed well and it's truly amazing how the author managed to tackle and deeply explore such a complicated ethical matter. The plot twist I did not expect, and while it was not an ending I liked, it was wrapped up nicely.
