Natalia Gómez nataliagoma3c9 — What an excellent read! This story had me tearing up within the first 100 pages. It's a story about this woman named Zoe Baxter who wants to have a baby more than anything in the world. But unfortunately she is unable to get pregnant, and her husband Max isn't very fertile. So they begin in Vitro which helps them produce a few eggs each cycle so she can try to get pregnant. She has a few miscarriages, but manages to carry one baby as far as 28 weeks...only to start bleeding at her baby shower, and to deliver a still born not long afterwards. Zoe is crushed, and I fully admit I cried. I had a friend who lost a baby, very early in her pregnancy, but all the same- losing a baby is losing a baby. I love the emotions that a JP novel can bring out in me. I also love that excited feeling when you are reading a book and can't wait to get back into it. This book did that for me. I read the first 60 pages or so in a waiting room and could not put it down. Unfortunately I had to because my two best friends read it with me and we agreed to only read a few short tracks at a time so we could stop and discuss. Anyways, after Zoe lost her baby, she found out she -could- try to get pregnant again. I guess she figured since her last pregnancy had come so close, that maybe the next pregnancy would bring her even closer to term and hopefully to deliver a healthy baby. But Max did not want to go through with it again, after finding out a disorder that Zoe had that made blood clots much easier to get. The baby had died because the placenta sheared away from the baby. Although it was dangerous, Zoe was willing to take a chance and try again. This is what tore Max and Zoe apart. He did not want to go through another cycle, the expenses of in Vitro were adding up and at that point he did not even want to be a dad. So he divorces Zoe. Then Zoe starts hanging out with an acquaintance she had met a few years earlier named Vanessa. The two start hanging out more and soon become best friends, and after that lovers. So now Zoe is a lesbian and since Vanessa is younger and able to get pregnant, Vanessa and Zoe want to use Zoe's embryos to get pregnant. Of course this is where the infamous controversy comes in, just like in all JP books. In order for the embryos to go to Zoe max has to sign off on it because they are his too. Meanwhile after their divorce Max was drinking and actually got into a wreck before he "found Jesus" and started going to his brothers church (he has also moved in with his brother at this point) so of course when he finds out his ex is now gay and wants to use the embryos to get her girlfriend (wife eventually, they go and get married) pregnant. Max can't have that now that his new Eternal God Glory Church (may have gotten that wrong) is totally against gays and he rather his brother and his wife Liddy who also can't have kids, get their embryos instead. So they wind up going to court over who the Embryos should go to. The situation gets sticky from there and in the end Max is rewarded custody of them only after Zoe gives in when she is accused of being inappropriate with one of her music therapy patients (she wasn't, it was a misunderstanding) but because Lucky, the teen Zoe is working with, is the step daughter of the Pastor of Max's church, of course it gets made into a big deal. At the very end of the book Max gives Zoe the custody and she and Vanessa have the baby, so there are two mom's, Max stays in the child's life so the child has a father, and SURPRISE- Max is now marrying his brothers former wife (in the book he had an affair with her and had always loved her) but just as in any JP novel, it doesn't disclose how on earth that happened but wow, what a shocker! So yes, I loved the story. Definitely one of my favorite Picoult books.

Anatoly Shumkin shumkin — This Book is very good

Khalid Alkhalid alkhalidk42d9 — Normally, this wouldn't seem to be my kind of book. I'm generally not fond of sci-fi/fantasy/dystopian novels, but this title kept coming up on various book lists and I figure that if I'm going to be a youth librarian, I should probably read at least some of what is popular with this age group, right? Then it became the selection for a book club that I've been wanting to join, so I had no excuse. LOVED IT! COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. HAD TO READ BOOK 2 IMMEDIATELY! Great story line, great characters, awesome heroine, just enough romance/sexual tension to keep things interesting. Reading this took me back to a time when I actually did read (and like) some sci-fi and fantasy--like Madeline L'Engle, Margaret Atwood and Aldous Huxley, not that this book necessarily resembles any works by those authors. I just enjoyed it as much or more as some of the novels I used to read! Can't wait for Book 3!
