Enjoyablebook from the author of My Sister's Keeper. The dilemma in this book concerns the abuse of the child of a prosecution lawyer and the fallout. As ever with J.P. nothing is as simple as it seems. ( )

An exhausting, but AMAZING, journey about family, through good times & bad! Nina is a mother, for whom the justice system failed, so she takes matters into her own hands. ( )

Amazing Story, Annoying Ending
I’m reading this book for my book club and one of my friends who finished it early declared that she hated it and had to throw it across the room upon finishing it. At that stage I was only half way through Perfect Match and I thought clearly she was insane because every minute I wasn’t reading it I was chomping at the bit to get back to rear imprint on my couch to resume my mass consumption of the book.
The subject matter is gut-wrenching, the plot twists are ridiculous, and her 360 degree story telling method is just incredible. What’s not to like? I’ll tell you. The ending. The ending is what killed this book for me.
I read the last 100 pages in one sitting, late at night, somewhat tipsy, and despite all that I still had the energy to sit upright at the final plot twist and shout, “WHAT?!?!?!?!?! No no no no no no. NO.” I promptly cast the book on the floor and the redeemed my opinion of my friend’s sanity.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars (the massively annoying ending only occurs in the last 20 pages of the book, which is roughly 6% of the whole story. I can’t judge a book based on 6% when 94% had me HOOKED)
Suggested With: A reading group to discuss the highly controversial issues presented in the story. ( )

One of my favourites from this author. A powerful start. As always the characters are well developed. You don't know where the story will take you - there are some unexpected twists. Once again a topic that generates alot of thought and discussion. ( )

The Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult was an interesting book. It showed the importance of family. It also taught that not everything comes easy. Jodi Picoult makes her books intriguing and adventurous. People usually get into them in the first page but this book took me a little bit longer.

Perfect Match is supposed to resemble the conclusion of this horrific adventure. The book starts off when a family is happy but has a crazy life. Both parents work while the little five year old is at school or with one of them. The mother is an attorney and deals with cases about child abuse. But when she has all this work in front of her she doesn't realize what is happening to her own child. He is abused physically. She doesn't find out who did this to her son until she has done something wrong and can't change it. Now she is in trouble she has to go to court and could go to jail for life. She still doesn’t knowing who the abuser is.

This book shows us that not everything comes easy and anything can happen. Jodi writes about this in great detail. She shows that even when it looks like everything is okay something terribly wrong can happen. I did enjoy this book. I have to say that some of her books are better but this showed me a lot about life. Some parts of the book were dual but when you read more and more it made you think about what was going to happen. Jodi Picoult wrote this book to have the readers trying to guess what was going to happen. I would tell anyone female that feels like they are not having a good day or week to read this and it will show that their life is great.

Jodi Picoult is the bestselling author of fifteen books. She is forty two years old and is living in New Hampshire with her children and her husband Tim.
