Atrocious Lies

Laurie Notaro's fabulous tale I Love Everybody and Other Atrocious Lies continues along the life of an 'Idiot Girl'. Laurie never lets you down with her wit and willingness to poke fun of herself and her loved ones.

Jodi Picoult

My Sister's Keeper is about a girl who was created to be a perfect match for her sister who suffers from a rare form of cancer.

Each chapter of this book is written from a different persons perspective. One chapter will be from the mom, then Anna, then Kate, then the lawyer, etc. Any other book this might not have worked as well but in this one Jodi pulls it off spectacularly.

Along the way you learn about Anna (the "Designer" sister), Kate, and their brother. You learn the ins and outs of the family and how it came about that Anna is filing for medical emancipation. There is love, loss, separation, togetherness, and just enough humor.

This book is a great read for anyone but I really feel it makes you think even more if you are a parent or sibling.
