Picture Perfect

I'm on a roll, aren't I? But isn't this how it always is? I go months and months without turning a single page then I gobble books up like I'm starving! After my last review of a Jodi Picoult book I was so nervous to pick just the right one to restore my faith. ;) My sister loaned me her copy of Picture Perfect a while back (I have a stack of books in waiting!).

I enjoyed this book. There was a lot of great detail to this book from describing the characters, their lives, and various plot locations. It wasn't the absolute best, best, BEST book I've read (by her or anyone else) but it was entertaining and good and I'd still recommend it. Here is the synopsis:

"Cassie Barrett, a world-renowned anthropologist, wakes up in a graveyard and doesn't know who she is. Taken in for a few days by William Flying Horse, a Native American police officer, she waits for her life to re-appear. When Hollywood heartthrob Alex Rivers shows up to claim her as his wife, she is stunned but still doesn't remember anything.

After she returns to her fairytale existence as Alex Rivers' wife, fragments of memory come back but she senses there is a side to her husband that she can't remember. When she finds a positive pregnancy test hidden in her bathroom, dark memories return, allowing her to piece together her past. Frightened, she runs to the only person she trusts to keep her hidden: Will.

Jodi Picoult's story is a tapestry rich in detail and emotion, a beautifully written novel that will deeply reward, and perhaps inspire, its listeners."

PS - This is random, I know, but I really don't think this cover has anything to do with the story. Hmm..
