It took me quite a while to finish this book, reading a chapter now and then. I had other books I was reading at the same time that were more interesting. Jodi Picoult books always bring attention to a social problem or question. This book focuses on abused wives and why they stay. I guess by the end I could see "why they stay" but was glad to see the main character finally take her life into her own hands. I can't say that I recommend it, unless this is a topic that interests you. I will probably read other of her books, they are usually more readable.

Right now I am reading a book by Marisa de los Santos. I think she has only written three books. I loved the first two, and am loving her third one. Watch for a review SOON. I'm zooming through this one.
