For eighteen years the Hartes and the Golds have lived next door to each other, sharing everything from Chinese food to chicken pox to carpool duty. Parents and children alike are best friends - so it's no surprise that in high school Chris and Emily's friendship blossoms into something more. They've been soul mates since they were born. When the midnight calls come in from the hospital, no one is prepared for the appalling truth: Emily is dead at seventeen from a gunshot wound to the head as part of an apparent suicide pact. The gun holds a single unspent bullet that Chris tells police he intended for himself, but a local detective has doubts. And the Hartes and Golds, in a single terrifying

The first Jodi Picoult book I read and absolutely loved it. The storyline is gripping and you have no idea where it will go next. Well worth a read!
As a young adult, and a passionate reader, I cannot rate this book high enough. The story between two teens, Chris and Emily, evolves so effortlessly throughout the book and bring us readers to tears multiple times, both of joy and of sorrow.
I recommend this book to anyone who knows what it's like to a love a person more than anything else, or at least to people who like to read and understand the powers of love.
Definitely one of the best books I have ever read.
This was probably the first book I read by Jodi Picoult and I would have to say its my favourite. The story although being a sensitive topic really made me sympathise with the characters. I read this book in under a day while I was on holiday because I just couldn't put it down eager to know what twist would happen next what possible cause behind the events at the beginning and was a real tear jerker by the end of the book. I would recommend this to anyone who loves Jodi Picoult or anyone looking to find a new style of book. I have introduced so many people to this book and they all give the same feed back that it was well worth the read.
I am a big fan, and have read many of her books, but Salem Falls and this one are my all time favourites so far. Very difficult subject, brilliantly and sensitively handled. Wonderful.
The first Jodi Picoult book I ever read, and the one that sparked my adoration of this author. I read a lot of fiction but have never come across another author like this, who can take such controversial subjects and make you question your outlook on life. Could not recommend highly enough!
