Handle with Care by Jodi Picoult will be another bestseller for this author. If you have ever read any books by Picoult you will know that there will twists and turns that make your heart break and keep you reading until the very end.
I have to admit after reading only 50 pages of this book I was convinced I was going to stop. I 'm not sure what made me continue on. There is something about her books that make me so unsettled. Having read many of her previous books I know there will be some kind of conflict that would twist you inside out if you were in the same position and that makes me very uncomfortable.
This book is about a little girl who is born with a bone disease called osteogenesis imperfecta, a disease of the bones that makes them very susceptible to breaks. If a child is diagnosed with this disease and survives birth they are in for a life of many broken bones. The little girl, Willow, is such an optimistic child, who charms you with all her knowledge and her sunny personality despite her physical difficulties. Once again though, Picoult, shows how one person in a family and their problems can affect the rest of the members of the family, especially when that one person has something that is so overwhelming and requires so much special attention.
Read this book and let me know what you think!! I'd really be interested in your perspective.
