Like all of Picoult's books, the twists and turns this books take are wild. In the end you feel like you've really lived this situation with the characters. Not one of the most memoriable of all of her books that I have read but it was still great.
I liked Plain Truth a lot more than this book, although the dialogue is better in this book. If you really liked this book, then you should read THE CONCRETE BLOND by Michael Connelly. It's uncanny how similar their prison descriptions are.
