Summary
New York Times best-selling author Jodi Picoult is widely acclaimed for her keen insights into the hearts and minds of real people. Now she tells the emotionally riveting story of a family torn apart by conflicting needs and a passionate love that triumphs over human weakness.
Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age 13 she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate - a life and a role that she has never challenged...until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister - and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable, a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves.
My Sister's Keeper examines what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child's life, even if that means infringing upon the rights of another? Is it worth trying to discover who you really are if that quest makes you like yourself less? Should you follow your own heart or let others lead you? Once again, in My Sister's Keeper, Jodi Picoult tackles a controversial real-life subject with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity.

Heart wrenching
Difficult to review without spoilers. very emotional and thought provoking story of a sick teenager and her sister and family. Beautifully narrated, though some of the time jumps back and forward confused me. First book I can remember for ever that I stayed up to listen ....

Moving
Thought provoking as all Jodi Picoult books are. I just didn’t like the narrator who did Julia. Maybe just MHO but I didn’t feel the narrator ‘got’ Julia and her voice grated!!

enjoyed but forty minutes too long
there was nothing wrong with this book that a little judicious editing wouldn't have improved. ld guessed what was going to happen and all in all, it was a little like trying to get away from someone who just won't stop talking

A Marmite ending.
Well written and wonderfully performed, it world be five stars if not for the ending which in my opinion is both shocking and ties the plot up a bit to neatly, and kind of invalidates the point of the novel.

Thought provoking
This book like all the books by this author, is very thought-provoking. The story had me hooked to find out what the outcome would be and I could not foresee the final twist at the end. This is not an easy read. Not because the story doesn’t flow nicely, but because of the subject. I enjoyed the fact that each character had a separate narrator. This gives them more depth, life and personality. I highly recommend this book, but keep the tissues at hand. I hardly ever cry because of a book, so that’s saying something.

Jodi Picoult at her very best
First time I’ve listened to this on Audible.I read the book many years ago and the story still moves me. Beautiful words but I found some of the voices of the readers didn’t match the characters I had imagined in my head.

Exceptional read
Thought provoking and .emotional. I was hooked on rhe first first page. This story raised issues that made me question what I would do in that situation. The story was well told with an ending I did not see coming. Loved this cook but have a box of tissues. Handy.
