I would not care if it was set in my own town Jodi Picoult is a hard pass. I read one of her books and it was crushing. The Weight of Water is a pretty good book though.

Thanks for this! Agree about Weight of Water! Which Picoult was it that was crushing? I remember feeling that way about My Sister's Keeper.

Pretty much all of them. I've read handle with care,nineteen minutes, my sister's keeper, change of heart, between the lines, pretty much most of them are heavy hitters. Change of heart takes place in NH too. One of the characters that's heavily featured is on death row at the NH state prison in concord

That is the one. That ending made me stupid angry and sad. Totally turned me off of her books. Vowed never again.
