Title: could have been much better
Review: Like many of these reviewers, I had such high hopes for this book. The premise is very intriguing and I really wanted to find out what a family would be like in these circumstances. Unfortunately, the author throws in a pointless romance with the lawyer which is very distracting to the main storyline. Switching back and forth between perspectives with the flashbacks being tossed in randomly made it even harder to follow. The characters were absolutely two-dimensional and uninspired. The ending was a complete copout and could have been predicted from page 1. The only unique thing that I liked was the differing typefaces for each character's viewpoint. (It was also the only way I could keep everyone straight.)Horrible book. I won't read anything from Jodi Picoult again.
