Aww, sad to hear. I’ve actually only read one of Jodi’s books, Nineteen Minutes. It was incredible, I loved it. But if I ever decide to read this one I’ll keep your review in mind.

Oh wow, you and I have had nearly identical Picoult experiences, except I have read Nineteen Minutes, and there are a few early ones I didn't get back to. But I started with My Sister's Keeper, which I adored, and went on a Picoult-reading frenzy. I had almost exactly the same reaction as you to Change of Heart, especially figuring out the twist even though I wasn't looking for it. I also note that I really miss the strong teen female that was Anna in My Sister's Keeper. In both Nineteen Minutes and The Tenth Circle, there are adolescent girl characters with (to my mind) completely unexplained self-esteem issues. I was pretty horrified by them. I know that teen girls (and boys, I'm sure) do have self-esteem issues, but these were incredibly destructive, and made no sense to me in the context in which they were presented.

I think that might be the one I keep getting mixed up with Picture Perfect. They aren’t at all alike, but Second Glance seems like another good title for the content of Picture Perfect.

Anyway, for 50 cents you can’t go wrong!

This is disappointing. Instead of thinking more about this novel, I picked up a used library copy of Second Glance for 50 cents this weekend. I’ve been interested in reading that one for a while.

This was only my third Picoult book. Nineteen Minutes which I enjoyed a lot, the other being The Tenth Circle which was just okay. At three books, I’ve already figured out that she’s pretty formulaic. I’m still looking forward to reading My Sister’s Keeper.
