    As a Jodi Picoult fan I found this book really interesting. It's a story that has depth that tackles a very serious issue (I won't go in to too much detail as I don't want to spoil it for other readers).

    Through the characters the story questions human behaviour and the ability to change. You could categorise this book as a romance however this story shows the good, the bad and the ugly side of love.

    I fell in love with the characters of Cassie and Will as they are very different people brought together in extreme circumstances and it's these circumstances that leads them to both questions who they are, their histories, and their future.

    Alex Rivers is a very three dimensional character, one minute wanting to hate him, the next sympathising with him. Picoult has managed to bring to life a believable Hollywood superstar, without going over the top.

    All three of the main characters have had startling pasts which will surprise the reader and keep you turning the pages.

    As the book ends on a bittersweet note, the reader won't be able to stop themselves imaging the future for Alex, Cassie and Will.

    I would definitely say this is one of my favourites of Picoult's books, although My Sisters Keeper will always remain at the top of my list.

    This book is a must read!
