The story is of a Mom of a teenager daughter who accidently kills a fellow teenager while driving. The story revolves around the ramifications and the toll it takes on the family members and the emotions of being a parent. I enjoyed it and was a quick read for me.

I am a big fan of Jodi Picoult and this one does not disappoint. The story tells how 19 minutes can forever change a person's life as well as those around them. Love the play of present with foreshadowing.

No it is not great literature but it was a nice break to read over the holiday vacation. I would read her next one.

I could not put this novel down. A book that stays with you after finishing.

I have read several of Karin Slaughter's books in past. They are a bit addicting. I very much enjoyed the book --I do like the protagonist who is in her novels. If you like a good mystery this is a good read. I must say that I was shocked at the ending (did not see it coming) and left me wanting to read her next novel. I will have to wait until later this year when it is released.

Mo Willems is above par in preschool selections. Funny to read aloud. Likeable monster.

My son loved the cover--of course it's a truck--but not a story he wants to read over and over.
