I love Jodi Picoult and her willingness to tackle incredibly difficult and mentally challenging subjects, and she always does a phenomenal and well researched job. I have my opinions around the subject of abortion, and yet I found myself surprisingly empathetic to characters I did not expect to.

I did find that the choppy nature of the book and backward story telling made it somewhat difficult to truly immerse myself in the experience and become emotionally connected. I suspect that the perspective shift confusion may be alleviated in the final version, considering that there are typically font or format shifts to go along in the printed books. Without that I had a hard time keeping up at times, and keeping everyone straight.

Overall I enjoyed the book, and I think that this is an incredibly important topic, presented in a cohesive and identifiable manner. Definitely a must read.
