This time: My Sister's Keeper
Do you ever have that book that it is hard to put down? That you read because you need to know what happens? Yes, I got through this book in 2 days, and even so, the last hour, I couldn't put it down. Even though I told myself I would be done at 11 and start up tomorrow, I read for 45 minutes past then because I HAD to finish it, HAD to know what happens.
Being a mother, I sympathize with Sara, the mother that essentially genetically engineered a child to be a donor for her daughter that has leukemia. That you would do whatever it takes to save your child. Unfortunately, as she says, she was being a mother to Kate that she forgot to be a mother to her other two children. And that is where I sympathize with Anna, the girl in the book, raised to be the donor. Never asked how she felt about it and always just expected to do it. Wow! And I will not give away the ending, but wow!
Would I read it again? Yes, yes, yes. I will look into more of her novels after I work through this list.
