I don't know that I'll read another book by this author. I've officially lost interest in this book. Where I'm from, this is statuatory rape - and I'm done. Next we come the the part where 15-year-old Rebecca gets down to bed business with Hadley, who is 10 years her senior. WHAT? When was the last time you went for a swim in the lake, or for that matter, met anyone who was heading out for a day on the beach? Also, she fails to mention the stench or the annoying bugs that surround this lake! (I've ridden my bike around Antelope Island - probably a more popular tourist attraction than the fine swimming!) As they arrive at the lake she mentions all the people swimming. Then, they take a ride to the Great Salt Lake with the polygamist doctor and his wives, which also happen to be heading there for a swim. The mom faints in the post office and awakens to a polygamist doctor and his three wives, one of which is a nurse. She says the religion is stifling - no description as to why. Next, when the mom and daughter arrive in Salt Lake she gives an AWFUL description of the people and the main attraction - the Great Salt Lake. The book is written from five different perspectives - which would be fine but she doesn't go in chronological order and she doesn't consistenly date the entries. Jodi Picoult has written too many books too quickly - she's lacking a good story and apparently doesn't research her material.
