Nineteen minutes by Jodi Picoult
Jodi Picoult’s books always make me slightly uncomfortable but this was worse that the rest, given that it deals with the aftermath of a high school shooting. I felt complete terror at the thought of being that child’s mother. I was also a bit perplexed by the secondary storyline and wasn’t entirely convinced about the twist at the end. Of course, it’s a can’t-put-down book nonetheless.
