I'm normally a big Picoult fan, but this one missed the boat for me. It's reasonably compelling, as all her work is, but main character Nina is unjustifiable and unlikable at times, and the true ramifications of each plot twist aren't explored to the depth that I would have liked to see. Several of the core themes - what it means to be a mother, who and how we love - are articulated much better in 2005's Vanishing Acts.
