I decided to read this book because Lifetime was showing the made for TV movie version. As with all movies, I prefer to read the book first. So, the movie was recorded and sat on my DVR pretty much all summer. When I went to my parents in August, I decided to read the book.
As it turns out, I could have waited a lifetime to read the book. It wasn't worth my time & I deleted the movie after only 10 minutes. I have liked other Picoult novels, but this book just didn't make the mark. It was hard to connect to the characters and after awhile, I didn't really care about what happened to any of them.
The book is about a teenage girl who supposedly gets raped by an ex-boyfriend. Her dad, who has a secret past, is obviously very upset about it and seeks to help his daughter. At the same time, his wife is having an affair and the daughter keeps getting caught in a web of lies.
If you want to read a novel by Jodi Picoult, read My Sister's Keeper (even if you have already it) -- this one isn't worth the time!
