In reply to Eva. She captures so much of what's happening now- and in a way that's really frightening. I almost thought I was not going to be able to keep reading- the sections about Turk and how the white supremacist movement works now were rough. And yet, you can't put her down- she's addictive!

I was like Sarah – I used to read Picoult’s books all the time and then I stopped. But I’m so glad that I went back for Small Great Things because it was so good. Everything you mention in your review – yes! I love this line in particular “Picoult turns the snow globe of life upside down and shakes our perceptions with a fury.” Perfect.

This book was difficult to read but I found the real challenge came when I tried to write about it properly!

I heard Picoult talking about her book on NPR — pretty interesting interview at http://www.npr.org/2016/10/08/497164687/small-great-things-author-jodi-picoult-talks-about-inspired-the-novel She definitely handles difficult subject matters and issues!

Thanks for the shout-out! And I used to read Picoult all the time and I haven’t in awhile. Need to pick her back up! And she sure does kill it with the moral dilemmas every single time. I always leave her books never being able to decide what I would do in whatever situation she created.
