I listened to this in the car, because I find that Picoult's novels are perfect to listen to. The plot isn't so detailed that I need to flip back to the front of the book to check a detail and it's light enough that I can listen while I drive without worrying about my thoughts drifting for a minute.
This particular story follows the traditional Picoult model...lots of controversy, a trial, and a "surprise" ending. This book follows the story of Zoey, who struggles with infertility, loses a baby in week 28, and loses her husband shortly after. The main plot is the fight for remaining frozen embryos between Zoey and her husband after she discovers she is a lesbian and he discovers Jesus in an ultra-conservative, media-loving church.
It was what it was...it would never make a recommendation list or a top-ten list, but it was interesting and served its purpose.
