This book didn't differ hugely from her other books, it was full of twists and turns which keep the reader turning the pages, although I will say I thought the ending was slightly unnecessary. She also related the career of the mother, Charlotte as a chef to the twists of the book with recipes and definitions of cooking terms which were good to begin with but perhaps shouldn't have been continued throughout the entire book as they veered from the plot a little and detracted from the story.
Her books do seem to follow a pattern and they can because of this be quite predictable, they do address very important issues and this one covered: adoption, abortion, eating disorders, depression and self injury, ethics, disabilities and friendships. They also provide detailed descriptions about parenting and being the mother or father of children how it can save you but also break you heart.
I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone who has read Picoult before, if you haven't I'd recommend the book also by her The Pact which I personally think is her best and provides all of the components of all her books but with some sort of ex factor.
