Reply To: Should this book stay on the list?

I thought the book was a good fit for Connecticut (although it could have taken place elsewhere).  More than the location, the premise of the book is what made it a memorable read.  Jodi Picoult wrote each character with enough empathy that the reader could understand their point of view.   I generally don’t rate many books 5 stars so this one was very close with a 4.5+.
