This was a hard read, but it wrapped up well in the end. It wasn't my favorite Jodi Picoult book, but I still enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed listening to this book, but I don't think I wouldve finished it if I read it in print or Kindle. It was a good story of perseverance and survival, but it was a bit clunky at times. A bit of a let down at the end.
