I get really frustrated with a lot of unnecessary drama in a story too - it is better when the author keeps the story real and is able to capture the raw emotion.

Glad to hear it was not and now I'm intrigued. My first reaction on reading the summary would have been that this was an emotional manipulation waiting to happen.

You're right that it could have gone SO wrong, but Kristy did a great job keeping it away from that. (That's why I'm not a big Jodi Picoult fan; I think she tends to do more melodrama than drama.)

I found it very compelling as well. I liked the fact that you pointed out that the author didn't overly manipulate the reader's emotions. It was an emotional book, but it was also an uplifting one.
