I literally just finished this book and could not wait to put it on my book club list. This book has an extremely controversial plot, but it could not have been written any better. I read it in one day, I was completely glued to it from page one all the way through. The beginning captivates you and the ending mesmerizes you. You will find yourself on the last page, but longing for more of the story. I have never read a book before that totally captured me like this one has. I think I have found my new favorite author.
Here is an over view of the book:
"Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of pre implantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate-a life and a role that she has never challenged...until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister-and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable, a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves."
-Jodi Picoult My Sister's Keeper
