i finished my sister's keeper by jodi picoult. after stashing it away in the cupboard for the past 4 years, i finally picked up michelle's bdae gift for me.



it started out as a really engaging plot. a test tube baby conceived as a pre planned donor for her sister who's suffering from leukemia. when the baby turned 13 she decided to sue her parents for the legal rights to her own body, to prevent her parents from conveniently using her blood and marrow everytime her sister relapses.

it then turned really shitty when in the last chapter she won the case and immediately got into a car accident and was brain dead so her kidneys went to her sister who got well. worse was the writing style which named each chapter after each character in the story, where in the chapter would be told in the perspective of the character. i figured out in chapter Sara aka chapter 4 that the dying sister won't be featured in the book till the last chapter... and sure enough. i hate the predictability of the book. ughh.
