Like many Jodi Picoult books, the less you know, the better, so I’m keeping my review a little bit vague. It’s better that way, trust me! I will note that there is a content warning for sexual abuse and postpartum psychosis. That out of the way, this one starts sleepy (the first hundred pages were a little slow for me) and then bonks you over the head with a big twist. So if you’re bored at first, stick with it — the payoff is worth it. Also, there is a fun tie-in to My Sister’s Keeper. Molly Fitzgerald runs the Rhode Island Department for Emergency Preparedness, keeping the state safe from whatever disasters might occur. But when her own life is upended, everything implodes in a way that even she, the most prepared person ever, couldn’t have anticipated. This is packed with twists, it’s really heartwarming, and the storytelling is just as you’d expect (amazing!) from a Jodi Picoult book.
