Um, apparently I do.

I started reading “My Sister’s Keeper” by Jodi Picoult last night, and I could not put it down. I stayed up until 2:30 am to finish it.

This is why it’s dangerous for me to read. I have no control. 😉

I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes books. It is sad, funny, bittersweet, and completely heart-wrenching. It has an ending that I did not in any way see coming. I thought it was over, and then BAM! Not so much over. I ugly-cried. Really. Sobbing, snot-faced, ugly crying.

The author did an interesting thing, I think, with the narrative. Instead of sticking with one perspective, the story is told in first person from five different perspectives. Risky, but I don’t think there was any other way for the story to be told, and I thought it worked beautifully.

I hope that one day, I’ll be able to write something as beautiful, heartbreaking, and moving as this book was. But I probably won’t…
