### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not as good as I thought it would be
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2016*

I probably would not have picked up this book on my own, but since it was the "required reading" for our local book club this month, I bought the paperback and started in.  Around 10 pages into the book, I had to put it down.  It was depressing.  Very depressing.  I later picked up the book again, forcing myself to give it another shot.  Nope.  I went from sad and depressed to angry and frustrated.  Not the emotions I enjoy from a book.  Since I could not force myself to pick the book up again, I bought the audio version of the book.  Sometimes listening to a book while doing the laundry or driving to the bank allows me to get the story without getting too deeply "involved".  I must say that the narrators for the Audible version of this book were outstanding, with different narrators for the different characters in the book.Jodi Picoult is an extremely talented writer, and this book was a #1 New York Times Bestseller, but somehow it missed the mark for me.  This is a story about a family's struggle after their newborn baby girl is born with a genetic birth defect known as Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI).  This is a condition where the child's bones are brittle, so brittle that they break with the slightest impact from a fall, bumping into a table, or even a hug.  Mounting medical bills and the need for special equipment cause financial problems and Charlotte, the mother, ends up filing a "wrongful birth" lawsuit against her obstetrician (who happens to be her best friend) for not discovering this condition and giving Charlotte and her husband Sean the option to abort the fetus.  Religious aspects (Charlotte and Sean are catholic) and moral decisions tear this family apart.  The ending was predictable.I'm sure there are many who do not agree with my rating of this book.  But I need to be honest with my humble opinion.

    Our son had special needs
  

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2021*

This book was recommended to me because our son had special needs. Raising a child with exceptional needs can be so costly and often if if the whole family who ends up suffering losses.  If your child has cancer they can receive  100% care at St. Judes and never receive a bill however, if your child has exceptional learning delays (unable to walk or talk), seizures, and a feeding tube - the parents are expected to cover the costs for appointments and adaptive equipment - insurance only covers certain things for example - insurance only covers 1 therapy a month. What tennis star only practices once a month and improves?  Having a child with exceptional needs causes additional stress in anyone's relationship. Sadly, our son lost his battle just one week shy of turning 3 due to complications of epilepsy.

    Everything is breakable!
  

*by R***L on Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2019*

This was a very hard book for me to read. Very different views on wrongful birth, abortion, adoption. The characters were real enough. What would you do for your child with serious disabilities?  Would you sue your best friend for not telling you more about the reality of the life your child would have?  The ending bothered me. Why take the money and not cash it! If you were not going to use it, set up a foundation to help other families in this situation.  The very ending was so sad. Everything is breakable!
