I'm very wishy washy with liking Jodi Picoult books. I've read some things by her and loved them and other books I've felt like were a waste of time.
BUT this book was absolutely riveting!
Quick synopsis: Willow is born with a bone disease called OI. An incident at Disney World happens and her father sees a lawyer intending to sue. Instead his wife Charlotte ends up suing her OBGYN (and very best friend) for wrongful birth. (Charlotte claims that she was not given the choice to terminate Willow before she was born because Piper did not tell her that Willow would have OI when the first ultra sound showed it)
All of the characters were relatable. I'd never heard of OI before this book, but my niece has special needs and so I did understand a bit of what Charlotte (mother) is going through.
I've also dealt with cutting issues and eating disorders so I could relate to Amelia (Willow's older sister). I think everyone has had a best friend turn on them so Piper was easy to understand.
It's a sad story and lives are torn apart, but I think it's one that is possible.
So glad I read it!!!
