Review:
Jodi Picoult has written another excellent book here!
It explores multiple moral dilemmas and had me torn as the reader.
The writing is very easy to read and flows very well. There is one main storyline but with mini-plots off to the side that did not distract, only added.
There were multiple points of view but it wasn’t confusing at any point! I knew exactly what was going on and was intrigued throughout!
The accounts from the Holocaust and Auschwitz are harrowing and eye-opening (I know it’s fiction but the general feel and background are not).
I would recommend this book! I'
m sure that although it is only August, it will still be up there in my top 2019 reads!

I love Jodi Picoult. I remember reading her books back to back because I really love her writing. I haven't read this one but I'll be sure to check it out!
