Anyone read this? I was very disappointed in it.

 I read it and liked it. Sometimes it was unexpected. I liked the ending. Kept me guessing.

I loved it.  It was definitely unexpected.  Jodi Picoult has never disappointed me yet.  Still need to read The Book of Two Ways which also got mixed reviews.

I read it several weeks ago and absolutely loved it.

I read it earlier this year. I am generally not a huge Jodi Picoult fan, but this  one was not bad. I found it very interesting in the beginning, sort of dragged and repetitive in the middle. Seriously, how much can you do and write about COVID on an Island, and then almost fell over from shock 3 quarters of the way through the book. That was a surprise that I did not see coming.The unexpected development got my attention and held my interest till the end.

 

I also really enjoyed the editors notes that she put in at the end about COVID.
