Review Quotes: "Picoult at her fearless best . . . Timely, balanced and certain to inspire debate."--The Washington Post
"This is Jodi Picoult at her best: tackling an emotional hot-button issue and putting a human face on it."--People "Told backward and hour by hour, Jodi Picoult's compelling narrative deftly explores controversial social issues."--Us Weekly "Thoroughly realistic storytelling . . . Picoult has achieved what politicians across the spectrum have not been able to: humanized a hot-button issue. Excellent for book clubs, this should also be considered for discussions in critical thinking and political debate."--Library Journal (starred review) "The author presents the white-knuckled narrative in a reverse-chronological order. The effect is mesmerizing, as Picoult establishes moments in the overarching event, before revealing how they came to be."--Houston Chronicle "Picoult delivers another riveting yarn . . . in this carefully crafted, utterly gripping tale."--Booklist (starred review) "An important and thoughtful read that is perfect for book clubs looking for deep conversations."--PopSugar
