    You did better than me, lol! I got about 70 pages in and had the following internal argument:

    ‘This girl is dead, and the psychic can see her but doesn’t realize she’s dead.

    No… That’s just the 6th Sense…

    But… There was the friend who disappeared… And the “old lady” at the police station after the young girl ignored her. She’s definitely dead.”

    Then I realized I didn’t care enough to finish the book, googled to see if I was right, and added it to my “DNF list”

    Maybe it’s just the two books I’ve happened to pick up, but Jodi Picoult seems like the M. Night Shyamalan of books. After I read “Wish You Were Here” by her for a challenge last year I was looking for the big plot twist this time and once I had it figured out I didn’t care to finish.
