My Sister's Keeper, by Jodi Picoult

In the book My Sister's Keeper, by Jodi Picoult, a girl named Anna has a sister, Kate, who has been diagnosed with leukemia from a young age. Anna is not sick, but she is in the hospital almost as often as her sister Kate. Anna is a perfect donor for Kate, and her whole life she has always been happy to help. But now she is sick of it, the procedures and everything else that comes along with them. She tells her parents she won't do it anymore. She wants to be in charge of what happens to her own body. Her choice is tearing her family apart.

I really liked this book because it really appealed to your emotions and made you think about what you would do if you were in their situation. I think all readers would like this book; it draws you in from the first sentence! I was addicted! At times it was really sad and almost brought me to tears. Some parts were also really easy to relate too, which helped me connect with the book and understand it better. It makes readers think about what would be the "right thing to do?" It's the type of book that will really make you think, and you won't be able to put down until you're finished!
