While Olivia believes that her son is innocent, she starts to recognize similar traits that his father holds as well. Until one day, Lily is found dead and Asher is the number one suspect. She is also hoping for a fresh start from a painful past.Īsher and Lily eventually start to date and fall in love and for once, everything seems at peace. Whereas Lily is a teenager girl who just moved to the area with her mother. She left behind an abusive marriage to start over in her hometown in New Hampshire. Olivia is a beekeeper and a mother to a teenager son, Asher. The story is told from the perspectives of Olivia and Lily. It’s not an easy read and many times, it’s quite sad but it’s also important and I think will open many eyes to the struggles that people deal with on a daily basis. The novel, co-written with Jennifer Finney Boylan, covers so much: identity, gender, abuse, love, toxic relationships and much more. She has this masterful way of presenting a story that seems pretty clear cut on paper and then about midway, there is a twist that changes everything. Jodi Picoult does not shy away from covering relevant and to some, controversial topics.
