This book kept me reading as much as Jodi Picoult's other books, but because it is every mother's nightmare, it wasn't a "fun" read - rather stressful. None of us knows what we would do in a given situation and each of the characters are surprised at their own actions in this drama. As always, Jodi Picoult immerses us in the roles of people on all sides of a situation, so that we find ourselves thinking from the point of view of each of them. Jodi Picoult also helps us see how quickly people jump to conclusions about the guilt of anyone who has been arrested, and the reason why we should consider them innocent until proven guilty. Once we have the whole picture - then and only then - we can form our own judgements.
