I read My Sister's Keeper on the beach. I got a massive sunburn but it was worth it. I have some of her other books but I haven't gotten to them yet.

I had a friend that loved Jodi Picoult and lent me her copy of Leaving Time. I found it tremendously boring! I didn't mind the writing style, but the progression of the book left something to be desired, in my opinion.

I read many of her books and enjoyed them but after a point I felt like she was formulaic. There was always a courtroom scene with big drama at the end and I found the same one-liner in two different books. I’d be interested to know if her last couple books were different because I kind of gave up on her.

I've only read Sing You Home but I absolutely loved it. I've been meaning to check out more of her work.

I enjoyed reading My Sister's Keeper and a few of her other books when I was younger.
But it's been years since I was able to read and like one of her stories.

I liked a lot of her stuff but wasn't a huge fan of Tenth Circle. One I loved despite being truly depressing is The Pact.

I read Small Great Things. It was really good, very well-written.
