I’d start from the beginning, her earlier stuff is bloody brilliant.

The Pact is a good one to start with! Or Salem Falls. You get a taste of her writing style. I think Small Great Things is AMAZING but maybe start with an easier read first.
My Sister’s Keeper was the first one I read of hers but I don’t recommend it.
I got my friend into Jodi Picoult by reading The Pact first.

Not jodie picoult. Looks suspiciously like it could be yours

Tom Gruchy this actually makes me not want to read this book.. the post is about Jodie picoult and your spamming your book on this thread. Not related and it looks pushy I’d suggest maybe making your own post one time and after let it be. It looks a smidge desperate especially when you’ve posted it 4 times in these comments alone

I LOVE HER. I usually take long breaks between her books because the writing style is very similar throughout. But I love how most take place in New Hampshire because I live there and she really captures its beauty.
