Wow okay, this is a book that I seriously thought I had already reviewed. I remember specifically writing a review for this. But now I'm seriously way too lazy to write a proper review but better than nothing, right?

- The Christianity debate
Now, this just has to do with me being Catholic. I really felt like the Christians in this weren't "properly" represented. All I could see were flaws. Flaws, flaws, flaws. Yes, we have flaws. But we're all not Bible thumpers! I couldn't find one redeeming quality about any of the Christians in this book (but this could probably do with the fact that my memory is pretty foggy with this book). Step it up, Jodi Picoult! The best antagonists are the ones who you can sympathize with but still not agree with.

- Jodi Picoult, same old, same old
It's all the same with Jodi Picoult. I have problem distinguishing her books from one another. Maybe it's because I've read too many of her books. But they all seem to follow the same "formula."

- I ship it... Just kidding
While I do feel like it's great that Picoult decided to write a book about a homosexual couple, I wish the circumstances were a bit different. In the end, I still felt like Zoe loved Max and that Max still loved Zoe. Maybe it's just me but their new relationships felt forced. I say I wish there were different circumstances but I think the main problem is with the way they were written.

- Not sure if I'll read another Jodi Picoult book again
With Jodi Picoult, it's usually hit or miss. Lately, it's been miss after miss. I feel bad because I've invested so much time reading her books but now it's just like... Why did I even bother?
