Once again, Jodi Picoult and her multiple narrators have a special place in my heart. This story drew me in and felt like both a breath of fresh air and the wind being knocked out of me. I have never read anything with this level of sincerity and the manner in which Picoult tackles the societal structures of racism, especially in the medical field, was absolutely soul-crushing in the best way. An instant favourite in my eyes.
