Salem Falls and Plain Truth are good. However, once you start reading a lot of her books, you realize that they have the exact same formula ?

Agreed. I can only read one of her books a year for that reason. I did love the elephant book

@Laural I read Change of Heart after reading a few in a row and was like, “Wait a minute!”

I don’t like any of her books.

@Shelly I have a soft spot for Plain Truth because when they made it into a Lifetime movie, Mariska Hargitay was the lead.

Plain Truth is also my favorite because of Mariska Hargitay!

I loved 19 minutes. That was my intro to her. I just read Small Great Things for a book club and it was really thought provoking. Looking forward to our discussion.

I actually think Nineteen Minutes was my favorite. That or Perfect Match. I’ve also read Salem Falls, My Sister’s Keeper, the Tenth Circle, Small Great Things and Leaving Time. I did really enjoy leaving time but something about it came off “silly” to me which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but it keeps me from making it my favorite.

My Sister’s Keeper. I liked 19 Minutes as well. There’s a couple of hers I don’t like, and I have found there’s a bit of a formula to her stories that make them predictable if you’ve read more than a few.
