Change Of Heart Review

Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult.
Published in 2008.
447 Pages.

Description
The acclaimed #1 New York Times bestselling author presents a spellbinding tale of a mother's tragic loss and one man's last chance at gaining salvation. Can we save ourselves, or do we rely on others to do it? Is what we believe always the truth? One moment June Nealon was happily looking forward to years full of laughter and adventure with her family, and the next, she was staring into a future that was as empty as her heart. Now her life is a waiting game. Waiting for time to heal her wounds, waiting for justice. In short, waiting for a miracle to happen. For Shay Bourne, life holds no more surprises. The world has given him nothing, and he has nothing to offer the world. In a heartbeat, though, something happens that changes everything for him. Now, he has one last chance for salvation, and it lies with June's eleven-year-old daughter, Claire. But between Shay and Claire stretches an ocean of bitter regrets, past crimes, and the rage of a mother who has lost her child. Would you give up your vengeance against someone you hate if it meant saving someone you love? Would you want your dreams to come true if it meant granting your enemy's dying wish? Once again, Jodi Picoult mesmerizes and enthralls readers with this story of redemption, justice, and love.

My Thoughts
Honestly, I disliked this book. It wasn't the worse I have ever read but it just wasn't for me. The story seemed to drag out and each chapter was someone new telling the story from their point of view. It seemed messy and all over the place. I just couldn't get into it whatsoever. I couldn't even finish it. I got half way through and had enough. I would not recommend this book to anyone.

  3. Hey thanks for following my blog. It sucks that you didn't like this book. The only Jodi Picoult book I've read is The Pact and I loved it. I still want to check out the rest of her books.
