My Sister's Keeper: A Novel by Jodi Picoult


Jodi Picoult tackles the ethics of having another child basically in order to have a ready made donor for their other chronically ill daughter.

But Anna throws a spanner in the works when she turns 13 and hires a lawyer to defend her right to decide for herself what happens to her body.

It's worth a read but it would be better if Jodi didn't keep including a "twist" at the end. Sometimes it feels like the twist is really just added for the sensation factor. I feel that the story doesn't really benefit much from it.
Genre-Drama
