Went in the charity shop at Forest Hall and found a book - not this one but when I was told it was 3 for £1.50 hoe could I resist getting two more :)
Just found a duplicate in my cupboard so this one goes to the Shrinking VBB Round 9

I enjoyed this book. I was a bit put out how it kept changing years but once I got used to it I had no problem keeping up with the storyline. I would have preferred another ending however reading Jodi Picoult quite often I know that's not what she is about! ;-)
As it didn't get picked for round 9 it is staying in for round 10 of the international vbb

I just finished reading it this afternoon, perfect for tagging chrissini.
On its way to chrissini in Austria. Enjoy !
Thank you, Icila, for tagging and sending me the book. I love Jodi Picoult!
Reserved for dutch-book through the wishlist tag game.
I was a bit annoyed at first because while they mentioned in every other chapter that the entries from the past were from 1990 they failed to mention even once what time the other chapters were from....but well, it was easy to figure out while reading on at least.
I enjoyed reading about Jane and Rebecca's journey. Once they met Sam and Hadley it got a bit boring and obvious but it's often the case, isn't it? ;)

Journal Entry 11 by dutch-book at Heerenveen , Fryslân (Friesland) Netherlands on Thursday, May 2, 2019
I've received this book about a week ago. Thank you for sending this to me. I look forward to yet another read by Jodi Picoult.
Edit 17 August 2020: I released this book yesterday in a little library in my hometown Heerenveen. I see it has already been journalled by the owner of this little library. So I will add my review of this book in this journal entry.
I haven't finished this book. It bored me. Very soon I found myself looking up reviews to find out if others thought the same. I thought multiple relationships were unhealthy. Now I should expect that from a book by Jodi Picoult, but still... Other books by her were just different and better, I can't really put my finger on it.
I read this was her first book, so maybe it just didn't flow as naturally as her other books or she hadn't yet learnt to make situations or characters more believable. The whale parts were boring. Normally I'd love to learn these kind of tidbits, but I guess writing is an art Jodi Picoult hadn't yet mastered in parts.
